An authoritative gateway to the lesser-explored regions of Bangladesh, this guidebook offers greater coverage than any other to the Chittagong Hill Tracts, where 13 different ethnic groups live amid breezy hillside scenery, and to the world's largest mangrove forest at the Sunderbans (where Bengal tigers occasionally chew on a human or two). With a focus on responsible tourism, it leads trailblazing travellers to those aspects of the country that are almost unknown to visitors - dolphin and whale watching, winter bird-watching in the northern wetlands and golden Bengal's silk and archaeological highlights.
Mikey Leung has been published internationally with CNN, edited and written for business and inflight magazines and served as a radio reporter with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Co-author Belinda Meggitt is an Australian physiotherapist and nutritionist who originally came to Bangladesh to train local therapists.
