Bangladesh is bestowed with the bounties of nature. Its captivating natural beauties    have provoked many travelers from far and near through ages. One of such travellers aptly observed "Bengal has hundred gates open for entrance, but not one for departure". 

Besides, Bangladesh is heir to a rich cultural legacy. In two thousand or more years of its crenulated history, many illustrious dynasties of Kings and Sultans have ruled and disappeared and have left their mark in the shape of magnificent cities and monuments, the desolate ruins which are still visible in many places throughout the country.
