Tips for your stay in Dhaka

Dhaka is a city full of beggars. Although, they have nothing on you, if you give a coin to one, others come running towards you and surround you like anything.
Avoid travelling Dhaka any time but monsoon season. This city might be a beautiful place to explore in other seasons but in monsoon, it’s full of misery and flooded roads.
As soon as you step in Dhaka, get your money changed into Taka (Bangladesh currency) and do not forget to receive a receipt. You will not be able to exchange the currency without the receipt and it will be extremely difficult to find a bank which changes Taka outside Bangladesh.
When travelling Dhaka on foot, it is important for you to get a “Road Permit” which can be issued from the Passport and Immigration Office in Dhaka.
For the summer months, carry a sunscreen lotion, whereas, when visiting the city in the monsoon season, make sure to pack appropriate waterproofs bags and clothes.
