“Golden Hour Dhaka” is a curated heritage walk designed for photographers, architects, and storytellers who want to experience Old Dhaka in its most magical light. The walk is timed to capture the warm glow of sunset, when shadows lengthen, buildings reveal textures, and life on the streets slows into rhythm. Participants will explore handpicked spots offering both historical significance and strong photographic potential.
