Meditation & Yoga Retreats in Bangladesh
5 retreat centers
Bangladesh's small retreat scene is centered on Theravada Buddhist monasteries in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and at Buddha Dhatu Jadi (Bandarban). Yoga retreats are emerging in Dhaka and Cox's Bazar, though the country is not yet a developed international yoga destination. Bengali and English are both used. The cool dry season (November–February) is the most comfortable retreat window. Most Western passports require an e-visa or visa-on-arrival. The Chittagong Hill Tracts require special travel permits. Cost is low by international standards.
