Old Dhaka & Shipyard Adventure

Your day begins at 8:00 am, as your guide and driver pick you up. The adventure starts at Kawran Bazar, one of Dhaka’s largest wholesale markets, buzzing with the colors and sounds of vegetables, fish, and fruits traded along the railway tracks.

From there, you’ll stop at the striking National Parliament Building for a photo opportunity, then continue to Baitul Mokarram National Mosque and the top of the Municipal Building for a panoramic view over Dhaka’s old and new contrasts.

Next, dive into Old Dhaka’s labyrinth of lanes, vibrant bazaars, and riverfront life. At Sadarghat Boat Terminal, cross the Buriganga River in a traditional rowing boat to explore the dramatic ship-repair yards, where massive vessels are rebuilt by hand.

After returning to Sadarghat, you’ll continue to visit the Armenian Church, the starry-domed Star Mosque, the Dhakeshwari Temple, and the red-bricked Curzon Hall. After lunch near Lalbagh Fort, you’ll explore its Mughal architecture and hear the stories of its unfinished history.

After lunch at a traditional Bengali restaurant, stroll through Panam Nagar, the 19th-century abandoned merchant town, where 52 historic buildings still line the main street—echoes of a bygone era.

Later, board a local boat to cross the Meghna River and visit a quiet river island, where you’ll walk among villagers and experience rural hospitality. In the evening, continue by road (90 minutes) to Ekduaria village, where your homestay family will welcome you.
