Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition
Pakistan
Delve into the vibrant heart of Bangladesh: Dhaka, a city of juxtapositions where ancient traditions intertwines with bustling modernity. Our tailored excursions lead you through a mosaic of rickshaw-adorned streets, historic mosques, and bustling markets. Witness the architectural marvel of the Star Mosque, experience the hum of artisanal workshops in old Dhaka, and engage with the rich tapestry of arts and crafts. As the sun sets, Dhaka's skyline, dotted with contemporary structures, stands as a testament to its evolving identity. In Dhaka, every alleyway and avenue echoes with stories of resilience, culture, and ceaseless dynamism, beckoning travellers to discover its multifaceted charm.
Step back in time as you wander the grounds of the 17th-century Mughal edifice, Lalbagh Fort. Though never completed, its historical charm is undeniable. The fort complex comprises structures like the Tomb of Bibi Pari and the Lalbagh Mosque, each narrating tales of Mughal grandeur. Engage with local guides to unravel the mysteries and legends that enshroud this iconic landmark of Dhaka.
Dhaka boasts the title of the "Rickshaw Capital of the World". Beyond being a mode of transport, rickshaws are moving canvases, showcasing vibrant, hand-painted art. Delve into the streets, meeting local artisans who bring these colourful tales to life. Understand the motifs, from pop culture to political events, that inspire this unique Dhakai art form.
Dhaka's Star Mosque, adorned with intricate mosaic patterns made from broken china, stands as a testament to the city's diverse architectural influences. The mosque, aglow with star motifs, offers a tranquil haven amidst the urban hustle. Whether you're admiring its detailed artistry or soaking in its spiritual ambience, the Star Mosque offers a peaceful retreat.
A visit to Aarong, one of Dhaka's most renowned craft stores, promises more than just shopping. A social enterprise by BRAC, the world's largest non-governmental development organization, Aarong empowers local artisans, promoting Bangladeshi crafts. From hand-embroidered fabrics to terracotta jewellery, every item narrates a tale of tradition, craftsmanship, and empowerment.
Indulge in the rich culinary tapestry of Dhaka. Sample traditional dishes like hilsa fish curry, Dhakai biryani, or the sweet chowchow. Street food stalls, with their array of chaats, kebabs, and pitas (rice cakes), offer a burst of flavour. Engaging with local chefs or families, perhaps even partaking in a cooking lesson, deepens the gastronomic experience, ensuring every bite is a flavourful journey.
For a profound understanding of Bangladesh's struggle for independence, visit the Liberation War Museum. Through poignant exhibits, photographs, and personal testimonies, the museum chronicles the events of the 1971 Liberation War. It stands not only as a testament to the nation's resilience but also as a beacon for peace and understanding.
