best tourist place in Bangladesh – Its 10 Must See Places
1. Rangamati
Rangamati Hill Tract in Chittagong district, surrounded by Indian states of Tripura and Mizoram from the north, Bandarban city and Mizoram from the south, and Myanmar from the east, is one of Bangladesh’s most delightful places and also your go-to if you are seeking to connect with the splendor of nature and its people. The flora and fauna in Rangamati will fill your soul up.
But there is also something for those with anthropological interests – Rangamati specifically and Chittagong largely is home to Bangladesh’s dozen indigenous communities, the major ones being the Marmas and Chakmas. Marmas, essentially Theravada Buddhists, have their own Arakanese dialect. Most others have assumed and internalized the cultural and religious traditions of the rest of the country. Some of the other indigenous communities here are Tippera, Mru, Chaks, Kumis, Kuki/Lushais, Khyang, Pankho among others. In Rangamati, you can witness the colorful lifestyle and indigenous cultures and you can also take home a piece of this in the form of souvenirs, clothes, showpieces, and jewelry.

6. Star Mosque
Star Mosque (Bengali: তারা মসজিদ; also known as Tara Masjid), is a mosque located in Armanitola area, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The mosque has ornate designs and is decorated with motifs of blue stars. It was built in the first half of the 19th century by Mirza Golam Pir (Mirza Ahmed Jan).
Exterior decoration
In early 20th century, Ali Jan Bepari, a local businessman, financed the renovation of the mosque and added a new eastern verandah. The surface was redecorated with Chinitikri work (mosaic work of broken China porcelain pieces), a decorative style that was popular during the 1930s. The mosque, which previously lacked any historical significance, is one of the few remaining architectural example of the Chinitikri (Chinese pieces) method of mosaic decoration. This decorative technique is found in the striking star motif that is in part the reason for the mosque’s current acclaim and popular name, Star Mosque or Sitara Masjid. In 1987, the Ministry of Religious Affairs commissioned Giasul Huque and Zahiruddin to make additions to the prayer hall, which was extended to include two more domes.
The mosque is decorated with Japanese and English china clay tiles and used both methods of the Chinitikri application. One approach uses solid colour, cut clay tiles and form patterns through the placement of these coloured tiles in white plaster. The domes and the exterior surface are covered with different coloured star shaped China clay tiles. The upper portion of the eastern façade also incorporates a crescent motif.
