📍 Destination Overview
Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, is among the world's most densely populated cities, its streets a famous flood of decorated rickshaws. The 19th-century Ahsan Manzil palace is a museum and the unfinished Lalbagh Fort marks Mughal ambition; Bangabandhu Avenue bustles with spice and craft stalls. Sadarghat on the Buriganga ranks among the world's busiest river ports.
