Shocking images capture a train in Bangladesh swamped with workers desperate to get home

Traveling by train in Bangladesh could be a great experience in your Bangladesh tour. In no way it will be similar to your experience in Europe or America. You’ll be thrilled watching how people fight to board a train as soon as it arrive in a station, the rush in them to get up and down, all the small vendors trying to sell every kind of thing to the passengers through the windows of the train. It will be a complete different experience. That is why, you should have at least one traveling by train in your itinerary on Bangladesh tour.

Bangladesh has a largely British-built rail network linking most major towns and cities, including Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet. The network is divided into two halves, eastern and western, by the great rivers Jamuna which divides the country itself. The western network is largely broad gauge, and the eastern network largely metre gauge. Bangladesh has 2,855 route kilometres of rail line. Bangladesh Railway is the state-owned rail transport agency of Bangladesh. It operates and maintains the entire railway network of the country.

Traveling by train is the most popular way of travel in Bangladesh. It is much cheaper than buses, as it is providing services to the nation at a subsidized rate in order to help the country’s economy and for the ease of people. It is better to make reservation 5-6 days prior to your journey.
