Atlas Risk Score · 185th safest of 220
Where the risk actually is
Each region is coloured by the advice that applies to most of it, drawn by hand from the wording of all five government advisories. Numbered markers flag localised warnings — usually a border strip or remote interior — that cover only a small part of an otherwise lower-risk region.
What the warnings actually cover
-
1
Chittagong Hill Tracts — Essential travel only. Essential travel only to the Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban districts. Dhaka, Cox's Bazar and the Sundarbans are outside the warning, though all three flood.
A numbered marker warns about the small area described in its note — the rest of that region carries the base advice. Mapped by hand from the official wording in July 2026; always check the current advisory before you book.
What drives the score
Each pillar is scored 0–100 against every other country. Longer bar = more risk.
Biggest factor here: conflict & terrorism. Armed conflict, political violence and terrorism exposure.
