A picture of how many districts in each division are good to visit in each month. The number is written in every cell — colour is only a hint.
| Division | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barishal | 4/6 | 4/6 | 0/6 | 0/6 | 0/6 | 0/6 | 2/6 | 2/6 | 3/6 | 3/6 | 6/6 |
Each number is how many of that division's districts (those with a written guide) name this month as a good time.
Districts whose guide hasn't been written yet aren't counted in this calendar.
Monsoon is ending and skies are clearing. Cyclones remain possible in October–November.

The pink riverside palace of the Nawabs of Dhaka on the Buriganga, now a museum. Its rooms of furniture and portraits give a feel for 19th-century Dhaka.
A national park, declared in 2011, around a huge old tank beside sal forest in Dhamoirhat. Migratory birds visit the water in winter, and there are walking paths through the woods.
A natural tunnel-cave inside Alutila hill a few kilometres from town, known locally as Matai Hakor. It is completely dark inside with water running along the floor, so you walk through over rocks with a torch. The hilltop also looks out over Khagrachhari town.
An old indigo planters' house near the Kazla river, surrounded by mango orchards — a witness to the history of indigo cultivation and the oppression of farmers.
The Aricha and Paturia ghats lie near where the Jamuna meets the Padma. Before the Jamuna Bridge, the road north crossed at Aricha; ferries still run from Paturia to Daulatdia. Sunsets over the wide river are worth staying for.
A ten-domed mosque built in 1523–24 under Sultan Nusrat Shah, famous for its terracotta ornament. A large tank and a shrine sit beside it, surrounded by Bagha's mango orchards.
A historic ghat on the Jamuna at Dewanganj, where rail passengers and freight once crossed the river by ferry. Its heyday is long gone, but it is a good place to see the vast Jamuna and char life up close.
A permanent fish sanctuary inside Hail Haor. From the watchtower in winter you can see flocks of ducks and other waterbirds, with lilies and lotus on the water.
A ghat and ferry point on the Jamuna in Phulchhari. A place to sit by the river and watch ferries and boats.
A sprawling zamindar estate of seven palace blocks across nearly six acres at Baliati, Saturia. It is protected by the Department of Archaeology, and one building houses a small museum.
An old Christian mission and church at Ballabhpur near Mujibnagar, an easy add-on to a Mujibnagar visit.
The country's major road-and-rail bridge across the Jamuna. From the Sirajganj bank you can take in its scale: sandbars in winter, a wide sheet of water in the monsoon.
