Bangladesh is humid, dusty in places, occasionally wet, and involves more time in boats and rickshaws than most destinations. Here's what's actually worth packing.
A rain cover for your camera - even outside monsoon season, river spray and sudden showers happen. A simple plastic cover beats an expensive lens repair.
A lens cloth and a second one you don't mind getting dirty - humidity means condensation, especially moving between air conditioning and outside air.
A versatile zoom over multiple primes - if you're only bringing one lens, something in the 24-70mm range covers most of what you'll encounter, from wide village scenes to tighter portraits, without lens-swapping in a moving boat.
Power banks, not just extra batteries - outlets aren't always convenient during a full shooting day, and a power bank charges your phone too.
Light, quick-dry clothing in muted colors - practical for the heat, and less conspicuous when Momin is trying to get you access to a quieter, more candid moment.
Beyond that, come with memory card space to spare - you'll shoot more than you expect.
