Activity itinerary

Ahsan Manzil

2h
Admission ticket included

The guide & driver will meet at the hotel lobby at Dhaka around 8:00 Hrs. After that the tour will begin as per the following itinerary. Also known as the Pink Palace due its bold coloring, was the official residential palace and seat of the Nawab of Dhaka. Construction was started in 1859 and was completed in 1872 and has since been designated as a national museum. It was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture. In Mughal era, Sheikh Enayet Ullah had a garden house here then acquired a very big area and included it in his garden house. Here he built a beautiful palace and named it "Rongmohol" (Rangmahal). Ahsan Manzil is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh. The palace has stood the test of time and has witnessed the many events that have shaped the country over the years. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the country’s pride and identity. A visit to Ahsan Manzil is a must for anyone interested in history, culture.

Dhakeshwari Temple

2h
Admission ticket included

The most prominent and oldest temple in Dhaka. The style of architecture of the temple cannot be assigned to that period. The sand and lime, the mortar used in the building, came to be used in Bengal after Muslim conquest. On the other hand, the three-domed roof and three arched entrances and the plastered walls of the temple strongly suggest that it was built in the Mughal style. The architectural and structural features of the temple indicate its builder to be someone who had very little influence on the culture of Bengal. Many of the features, such as the existence of a large tank, banyan tree, garden, matha, resting-place and ashrama for sannyasis, and the practice of allowing one and all inside the temple suggest similarity to Arakanese religion and religious practices.

Antalya Bazaar

2h
Admission ticket included

Shankhari Bazaar is one of the oldest areas in Old Dhaka. It stretches along a narrow lane, lined with richly decorated brick buildings, and built during the late Mughal or Colonial period. The area belonged to the Shankhari Community (Hindu), who borrowed their name from Shankha, a decorated bangle crafted from slices of Shankha or conch shells. Shankha is the symbol that indicates that a Hindu woman is married. In the 17th century, the Shankhari people were brought by the Mughal emperor, who allotted this place to them for which later known as Shankhar Bazaar.

Lalbag Fort

2h
Admission ticket included

It is an incomplete 17th-century Mughal fort complex that stands before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka. The construction was started in 1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah, who was a son of Emperor Aurangzeb and later emperor himself. The fort remained incomplete when he was called away by his father Aurangzeb. Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of Dhaka in that time, and he did not complete the fort. In 1684, the daughter of Shaista Khan named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi died there. After her death, he started to think the fort as unlucky, and left the structure incomplete. Among the three major parts of Lalbagh Fort, one is the tomb of Pari Bibi.
