Begin with a focused old-city visit

Choose Lalbagh Fort and a manageable surrounding route with a knowledgeable guide. The Mughal complex offers context for Dhaka beyond its traffic and commercial energy.

Leave margin between stops

Dhaka distances do not translate neatly into journey times. Agree the pickup point, transport and return, and avoid stacking several far-apart appointments into one day.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
