Explore Dhaka the Local Way


What better way to embark on your Sonargaon journey than through the eyes of the locals?
Immerse yourself in Dhaka’s local culture with a private guide that takes you to off-the-beaten-path attractions in Bangladesh’s historic capital city. Your guide will provide in-depth commentary as you journey through each attraction.
Hop onto a rickshaw—the preferred traditional mode of transport in the city—for an eye-opening visit to Sonargaon’s bustling produce and wholesale markets. Next, head to the crafts and textile market to admire the expert craftwork of Bangladeshi locals, and pick up a souvenir or two, followed by an afternoon tea break and a local snack before calling it a day.
Brush Up on Bangladeshi History at the National Museum


Avid photographers can capture the essence of Sonargaon through your lens with a private Old Dhaka Photography Tour. The full-day tour takes you around the city’s most photogenic stops as you receive photography tips from your experienced guide.
Highlights of the tour include popular Dhaka attractions such as Farmgate, Karwan Bazaar, Baitul Mukarram Mosque, and the New Market. The tour further includes entrance fees to all the sites, as well as lunch and afternoon tea to energise your local travel.
Experience the Old Dhaka Capital


Urban city dwellers may delight in the Old Capital Sightseeing tour that transports you to Dhaka’s storied past. Explore the rural lifestyle of its locals at the Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum, where you can explore its extensive and comprehensive collection of artworks, indigenous crafts, and heritage-rich artefacts.
Move on to the ruined city of Panam Nagar, which is left standing in poignant, beautiful wreckage for over 250 years. The serenity and antiquity of the ruins, combined with the dilapidated buildings, offer a surreal sight.
End your tour at the Goaldi Mosque. Here you can admire the architecture of the unusual single tomb mosque dating back to the 15th century. The terracotta structure is one of the few surviving mediaeval moments in the city.
Go on a Dhaka City Tour


If you wish to truly experience the different faces of Dhaka, you need to consider signing up for the Dhaka City Tour. The full-day guided tour curates the city’s best attractions and important sights in ten hours, taking you on a journey through the city’s history, traditions and heritage.
The tour begins on a colourful note at the Charbagh bus stop, where the morning flower market bursts into life with boisterous crowds and beautiful blossoms. This will be followed by a trip to Curzon Hall—one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, it sports a unique blend of Mughal and British colonial design.
Other stops on the tour include Dhaka university—which houses impressive sculptures of renowned global leaders such as Indira Gandhi and Gaddafi—and the Sadarghat waterfront, an energetic riverside location teeming with people and ships which offers a contemporary take on Dhaka.
