More than 70% of the population still lives in rural villages. Agriculture is our main income source and contributes the maximum in our national economy. Village is what you have to visit the most in Bangladesh. In our villages you find music, dances, paintings, embroideries, plays, and other various folk arts that have been handed down for hundreds of years. Small bazaars, tea stalls are the main places for gathering. Its nature, nostalgic pastoral scenes and scent of grass, let your stressed mind relax.
Away from metal sounds, you will observe peaceful simple village life where
children are playing local sports, women are petting chickens, goats or cattle,
males are catching fish, working in crop fields etc.
You may retrieve the innocence of your childhood when you see fireflies twinkling
in the sky with full of stars. Paddy field turns into sea of water in rainy
season and into ripe field in dry season. And in villages, children's eyes twinkle
to see a stranger, and adults would like to invite you to tea and sweets. You
may sometimes want to be left alone, many of whom have visited villages and
make their visits again.
