First of all the Lyrids are meteors, not meteorites (meteors found on the surface of the earth). Secondly, these meteors can be seen when it is dark and the constellation of Lyra lies above the horizon. This corresponds to roughly 2200 (10pm) to dawn. Unfortunately the bright moon will also be in the sky most of the night, reducing the number of meteors seen. The best time to view the Lyrids would be between moon set and dawn Monday morning.

I hope this helps!

These meteors can be seen from most anywhere, including Bangladesh. Visibilities will be altered if one lives in extreme north or south latitudes. Otherwise they can be seen from most anywhere.

I hope this helps!

Booked up for a week in Madeira, with plans to set up on or near Pico do Areiro at 1818m asl (5964ft). I checked out the location early last year and have researched the weather info for August. Fingers crossed for clear skys, a good show and photographs. I’ll keep you posted of progress etc.
