Things to see and do Dhaka Division

Why not do like the locals and take a boat for a walk on the river? The best moments of the day are the morning at sunrise and in the evening, just before sunset, when the light is soft and the temperature lower. The hardest thing is to negotiate the rate and the duration, especially if you do not speak Bengali. You can borrow a boat at Kanchari Ghat east of Circuit House Park or Kalibari Ghat in the old town 200 m before the bridge.

Created in 1961, the National Botanical Garden houses a large number of trees and plants in its 84 ha park. A true haven of peace, far from the tintamarre of the horns, the garden attracts lovers who wish to escape the public eye. The botanique of botany will not be disappointed by the herbarium that lists nearly 100 000 different species, including camphor, orchids or a beautiful rose garden. From November to February, the adjacent lake hosts a large number of migratory birds. Artificial ponds and waterfalls add to the charm of this very pleasant place. An ideal place to escape from the fury of the city.
