Dhaka and Central Heartland

Region

Centred on the capital, this region is Bangladesh at its most intense, with river ports, crowded bazaars and Mughal era architecture. Explore Old Dhaka's lanes, visit landmark mosques and museums, and take easy side trips to Sonargaon's heritage quarter or Bhawal's sal forest. Plan extra time for traffic, and aim for November to February for cooler, drier days.
