This is Bangladesh 🇧🇩 — what it is, and what sits on the far side of the planet from it. The antipode is the point you would reach by digging straight through the centre of the Earth.

Start near the middle of Bangladesh and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 23.5639° S, 90.1238° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Chile 🇨🇱, roughly 1,560 km (969 miles) north-west — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Ica, Peru, about 1,845 km (1,146 miles) from the point.
