Things to do in Dhaka City, Dhaka Division: The Best Walking Tours

December 22, 2021 Chanda Heide

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. On the journey to travel across the country, I visited Cox's Bazar the largest sea beach in the world, Saintmartin’s island, Chera Dwip, Sajek, Bandarban mountain range and so many beautiful places. I found his team very friendly with their amazing sense of humour. Food here is great, varieties of spices! Amazing landscapes and seascapes across the southern part of the country. Travelling with this group of people made my journey here in Bangladesh so refreshing and enjoyable! To my fellow tourists, travellers, photographers, filmmakers and content creators across the world, if you ever are planning on visiting Bangladesh I highly recommend Rocky Hasan and his amazing team of ”Cholo Bangladesh Tours” for your pleasant journey here!

This was a nice trip taken on a combination of car, rickshaw and public bus. I visited several places in historic Sonargaon including the ancient Panam Nagar, Goaldi mosque and a river island with a local community. There were lots of chances to try local snacks along the way. At the end back in Dhaka we visited two markets. My guide Rahman was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information throughout the day. Overall a packed but very enjoyable day.
