5 underrated Bangladeshi tourist spots to visit during Durga Puja holidays

Guliakhali Sea Beach: A harmony of waves and green

Guliakhali does not try to impress you with rolling waves or the classic “beach photo-op” look. It just is.

There are a lot of open grasslands, areas of shimmering water that cut through the green like silver veins, and mangrove roots that rise like natural sculptures. You don’t arrive at Guliakhali; you ease into it.
