Discover the Beautiful Bay of Bengal

The beautiful Bay of Bengal forms the southern border of Bangladesh, and washes the shores of neighboring Myanmar and India, joining the vast Indian Ocean to the south. As the largest natural bay in the world, the triangular-shaped Bay of Bengal covers an area of around 2,172,000 square kilometers and includes numerous islands. Rivers of Bangladesh flowing into the Bay of Bengal include the Padma, a main tributary of the legendary Ganges; Meghna, one of three main rivers in the Sundarbans Delta; and Brahmaputra, which becomes the Jamuna River when it flows through Bangladesh and into the bay.
