A brief introduction to Dhaka

Known for a vast, colourful history, religious diversity, and top-notch cuisine, Dhaka is the jewel in Bangladesh’s crown, its best parts easily explored by cycle-rickshaw.

Dhaka’s bustling city centre is set against its rich history, with stunning architecture influenced by Bengal, Mughal and British historical and colonial periods. Located on the banks of the Buriganga River, you’ll find Dhaka’s 17th-century old town, home to the magnificent Mughal palace Ahsan Manzil. Make sure to pay a visit to the unfinished Lalbagh Fort and the ruins of caravanserai, such as the Bara Katra and Chhota Katra, where travellers on the Silk Road used to rest and recover.

History lovers will enjoy exploring the 12th-century Dhakeshwari Temple, Armenian Church and Shahbaz Khan Mosque – one of the oldest mosques in the city – located in the old high court area of Dhaka. The city’s diversity also lends it a packed calendar of cultural events. Plan your trip around certain dates and you could find yourself joining in the colourful Pahela Baishakh to mark the start of the Bangla New Year, Bangladesh Independence Day, or Durga Puja – one of the longest Hindu celebrations in Dhaka.

You’ll likely be drawn to the enticing aromas of Dhaka’s restaurants before you see them, with the spicy aromas of dishes like Haji Biriyani (seasoned rice with curried goat’s meat) wafting through its streets. Dhakai Bakarkhani (a sweet, cookie-like cardamom flatbread) is a popular snack found across the city and is usually served with tea.
