Escape to Dhaka City 1

A day-long journey through old Dhaka is truly distinctive, exciting, and offers a touch of adventure. Bangladesh stands as a testament to deep-rooted history, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. Our Dhaka City Tour aims to unveil, elucidate, and highlight these facets to you. Rather than following the typical tourist trails or focusing solely on major attractions, we guide you along lesser-known alleys and byways to uncover the hidden pockets of tradition, especially in old Dhaka areas like Shakhari Bazar, Bongshal, Nawabpur, and more.

On this tour, you'll explore landmarks like the National Parliament building, Dhaka University, Curzon Hall, Lalbagh Fort, Pink Palace, Star Mosque, Shadarghat, and the Armenian Church. A boat cruise on the Buriganga River is an essential experience in old Dhaka. Experience the thrill of a Rickshaw ride navigating the bustling, narrow lanes of this historic area. While with us, you won't feel merely as a tourist but more as an adventurer seeking to understand why Bangladesh is often termed the land of joyous people.
