Bangladesh - Dhaka
Dhaka is not a quiet, retiring place. The city, bursting with nearly 17 million people (most of whom often seem to be stuck in the same traffic jam as you), is a gloriously noisy and chaotic place, bubbling with energy.
- board a rowboat down at the gritty docks of Sadarghat and cross the manic Buriganga River, the very lifeblood of this enormous city
- see some of Dhaka’s thousands of cycle-rickshaws being made – and buy a piece of rickhshaw art for yourself on Bangshal Rd
- get lost wandering the fascinating, overcrowded alleyways of Old Dhaka (Puran Dhaka)
Coverage includes: Sights, Activities, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment and Shopping.
You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
