Highlights
Set out to explore Dhaka City like a local, journeying through the narrow, winding lanes of Old Dhaka by rickshaw and taking a rowboat ride along the Buriganga River to witness the dramatic ship-breaking yard. Once installed as the capital of Bengal by the Mughals in the 17th century, Dhaka was among the wealthiest and most prosperous cities in the region. Your experienced guide will lead you through the vibrant, colorful, and lively streets of the city. Highlights of the tour include a walk through the chaotic Kawran Bazar, visits to the Dhaka Flower Market, Dhaka University, and the Dhakeshwari Hindu Temple. You'll also explore the 17th-century Mughal Lalbagh Fort, the Pink Palace (Ahsan Manzil), historic Shankhari Bazar, the bustling river port of Sadarghat, the beautifully tiled Star Mosque, and the serene Armenian Church.

About Dhaka
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on the Buriganga River, is a dense, restless city of Mughal-era monuments, rickshaws and a busy river port.
Dhaka grew from a Mughal provincial capital on the Buriganga River into one of the most densely populated cities on earth. Old Dhaka holds most of the history: Lalbagh Fort, begun in 1678 and never finished, the pink Ahsan Manzil palace beside the river, and the Star Mosque with its mosaic of china tiles. The narrow lanes around them are filled with workshops and traders.
Top-ranked sights in Dhaka: Sadarghat Port, Star Mosque (Tara Masjid), Armenian Church.
