Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Dhaka
Everything here moves at once: rickshaws painted with bright murals, green CNG autorickshaws, buses with dented flanks, cars, cargo bikes and pedestrians, all swarming through the same space with a kind of fluid logic.

2. Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat
Bagerhat is a place that makes you stop and wonder how a city of mosques ended up in the swamps of the Ganges delta. In the fifteenth century, a Muslim general and saint named Khan Jahan Ali came to this region, cleared the forest, dug ponds and roads and built a settlement that he called Khalifatabad. The brick mosques, tombs and bridges he and his followers built still stand, and UNESCO listed the site in 1985.
