Bangladesh

This place truly is constantly changing. Sitting on the largest river delta in the world, crouched beside the Bay of Bengal, this low-lying land sees its very soil renewed like clockwork each spring as the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers deliver -countless tons of mineral-rich silt. The world’s third largest Muslim nation, after Indonesia and Pakistan, Bangladesh is one of the most crowded places on the planet. It's also home to many spectacular river-swimming Bengal tigers. Over time, it has assimilated the beliefs of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Jainism, all of which may be seen in its cultural life today.
