Half-Day Old Dhaka Tour

In our other tour we generally before getting into the old Dhaka we visit some nice places of attractions as Parliament building, Curzon hall, many areas of Dhaka universities, Dhakeshary temple and so on. 

Our car and guide will come to pick you from your hotel/rescidance at your given time and start the tour immediately and moving toward old Dhaka. 

In our half-day Dhaka city tour, as our time is limited but we want to give you a quick reflection of old Dhaka in a short time, we directly will get entry to the old Dhaka through Nazira Bazar the street popular for the bicycle. We will not use our car once we get into the old Dhaka as walking is much faster than riding on car in the old Dhaka.  

We will be walking through Bonglsal pond and move to the Star mosque, a significant Muslim structure the only mosque in the old Dhaka open for tourists to visit. 

After Star mosque, we continue further south of the old Dhaka and arriving at the Armenian church which is the living sign of the Armenian colony in the 17th century in this subcontinent before the establishment of the British colony. 

After finishing the visit of Armenian Church we will be heading to Shakahri Bazar, the Hindu street, the authentic lifestyle of the Hindu people at the old Dhaka. This street is full of sights and sounds with the fragrance coming from the temples. There you will see the shops musical instruments and “Shaka”. 

After the Hindu Street, we continue walking for another 5 mins to reach the gate of the superstructure of old Dhaka, Ahsan Manzil which is also known as pink palace. This is also known as the pink palace also because of its color. This building is the source of modern Dhaka. The owner of this building started to create the infrastructure for the city we are having today. He started the firs introduced electricity, water system and so on. We will be visiting this place only from outside. 

We will be moving to the main attraction of the old Dhaka trip and that is Sadarghat boat terminal. This is the busiest river port of south-east Asia. Every day thousands of people travel through this riverine gateway. Hundreds of tiny traditional boats resemble the rickshaw in the river. They are busy transferring the people from one bank of the river to others. 

Here, we will do a small boat trip for 30 mins to have the real-time experience of the busy river and you will be overwhelmed to see the engagements of the tiny boats how do they cross the river giving the way some gigantic cargos or ferries passing through them and most importantly bustling sound of the shipbuilding yard.

After finishing this river port, we will hire a car again to come back to your hotel/residence and finish the tour with an unforgettable memory.
