I was extremely happy to have the pleasure of meeting Hasan of Global International BD Tours & Travels. he turned out to not only be an amazing guide, but a fantastic travel companion and friend as well. -His private tour of Old Dhaka (Puran Dhaka) is not to be missed, and included round trip air conditioned transportation as well as meals and attraction tickets. We started the day visiting the campus of Dhaka University, admiring Curzon Hall and the old colonial British gems of the city, After this we he Shaheed Minar monument, which commemorates those killed fighting for the Bengali language. Every 21st of February the site is beautifully decorated in flowers, and it was nice to see all the pride the Bengali visitors have in their language and culture. -After this we visited Lalbagh Fort, which was truly a highlight of the day for me. I loved the historic architecture, and peacefulness and beauty of the gardens, truly an oasis in the midst of a bustling city. Hasan managed to include some time for me to visit the famed Dhaka Armenian Church, which were given a private tour of by the caretaker of the property. Though there are no Armenians left in Dhaka, it was nice to view the cemetery grounds and the simplicity of the church interior. -Finally, we made it to lunch, and dined on the famous Old Dhaka Hajir biryani, which was absolutely delicious, and interesting to see its preparation in gigantic pots. After lunch we toured the Ahsan Manzil, or the pink palace of the ruling Nawabs of Dhaka. I love history and it was exciting to our the grounds and stunning interior. This tour was followed by a beautiful old-fashioned boat ride on the Buriganga river, which is directly across from the palace. Our day ended with a tour of the grounds of the parliament of Bangladesh, which was surprisingly vast and very modern. truly an exciting day, a great way to experience the hustle and bustle of the small streets of Old Dhaka. One really gets to feel like a local with Hasan, and it was nice not having to worry about tickets, transport or food, truly an all inclusive experience, will definitely book again when back in Bangladesh.
