About the event

The Merchants Trail: Along the Banks of Buriganga
The Buriganga River has long been the lifeblood of Dhaka, shaping its history, commerce, and culture. A journey along its banks reveals a tapestry of architectural marvels, bustling trade centers, and poignant reminders of the city's evolving relationship with its waterways.

For centuries, the Buriganga River was central to Dhaka's emergence as a major urban center. During the Mughal, British colonial, and Pakistani periods, it facilitated continuous trading activities, connecting Dhaka to various parts of Bengal and beyond. Merchants transported goods via the river, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange.

Dhaka is a cultural gem in the heart of Bangladesh, known for its inhabitants' authentic and unique lifestyles. Its vibrant culture thrives in bustling markets, street food stalls, and historic mosques.

Prepare to be enchanted by the hidden gems of Puran Dhaka. Our heritage walk will take you through winding alleyways, centuries-old mosques, stunning Mughal architecture, and bustling bazaars.
