This private day trip in Dhaka lasts about 6 to 8 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. The tour begins early with a visit to Karan Bazar, a wholesale vegetable and fish market where the morning rush creates a lively scene, including a fish market set on active train tracks. Then the group visits the colorful morning flower market between 7 and 8 am. Next is a stop at Curzon Hall, a building with Mughal and colonial architecture built in 1904, originally a town hall and now part of Dhaka University’s School of Science. The tour continues to Lalbag Fort, a 17th-century Mughal fort known for its gardens and historical significance. The group then visits the Star Mosque (Tara Masjid), noted for its decorative mosaic work from the 19th and 20th centuries. Visitors must follow the Muslim dress code, including full sleeves and a headscarf for women. Afterward, the tour goes to the Armenian Church, an 18th-century Orthodox church maintained in Old Dhaka. A short walk takes visitors to the Hindu street, a narrow area with shops selling traditional items for Hindu married women. Later, the tour reaches Sadarghat, the busiest river port on the Buriganga River, best seen in the afternoon when many boats cross. Finally, a boat ride across the Buriganga River visits the Dhaka Dockyard, where shipbuilding and repairs are underway, featuring sights and sounds of industrial work. The tour uses local transport including rickshaws, tuk-tuks, and Uber rides. Bottled water is provided, and a professional guide accompanies the group throughout.
