Six photographs, one country: Bangladesh by Bangladeshi photographers
Mustard fields, morning mist, flooded forests and a long, quiet coast. A short photo essay celebrating the Bangladeshi photographers who share their country with the world.
Every image on Bangladesh Traveller's first pages was taken by a Bangladeshi photographer and shared freely on Unsplash. This is our thank-you, and a reminder of how much of this country is still waiting to be seen.

Rivers are the country's oldest roads. Before the bridges and the highways, almost every journey here began at a ghat.

For a few weeks each winter, the plains turn yellow. Mustard season is short, and it is one of the best reasons to travel in December and January.

In the hills, the road is half the trip: switchbacks, ridgelines and villages that appear only at the last bend.

In the monsoon, whole forests stand knee-deep in water, and the only way through is by boat.

Bangladesh's wetlands are working landscapes: fishing grounds, rice fields and, for a few weeks, fields of flowers.

And then the sea. The coast is long enough that, even in high season, an empty stretch of sand is never far away.
