10 Sightseeing Tours in Dhaka City That You Shouldn't Miss

November 1, 2021 Joeann Galban

Densely populated and humming with activity at all hours, Dhaka is a city of contrasts between old and new, rich and poor, industry and folk. From the concrete National Parliament House and ultramodern Bashundhara City, the largest shopping mall in South Asia, to the 17th Century Lalbagh Fort and the open markets along the city's side streets, these contrasts vividly shape the city. Visit the many mosques, temples and museums for a taste of Bengali culture and history.

As a travel and landscape photographer, I always prefer to visit iconic places of natural beauty. For many years I was planning on visiting Bangladesh, to be very honest it's vast mountain range of Sajek, Bandarban hilly areas and coastal areas of the Bay of Bengal and Saintmartin's island. And while searching online for a trustworthy and friendly tour operator here in Bangladesh I came across "Cholo Bangladesh Tours" travel agency led by Rocky Hasan and his team.
