Dhaka, the delta and the neighbours of Bangladesh
Background
The capital city of Bangladesh is Dhaka.
The Commonwealth profile says Bangladesh is surrounded by India to the west, north and east.
It borders Myanmar in the south-east, and the Bay of Bengal lies to the south.
Bangladesh is mainly low-lying delta, but mountains separate it from Myanmar and parts of India.
There is a large area of swamp forest in the south.
The profile gives the area as 147,570 square kilometres.
