This does not include the city of Chittagong or other parts of Chittagong Division. There is a high terrorist threat alert in Bangladesh at present, with travel during the monsoon season (June to September) being particularly hazardous. Bangladesh lies in a zone of seismic activity, so there is a risk of earthquakes in the region. Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever occur all year round. There’s been a significant increase in the number of cases of dengue fever across Bangladesh, including in Dhaka. You should take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
