Itinéraire
Découvrez l'un des chefs-d'œuvre architecturaux les plus emblématiques du XXe siècle, conçu par le célèbre architecte américain Louis I. Kahn. Le Parlement national du Bangladesh est une merveille d'ingénierie et un symbole du design civique moderne. Entouré de jardins luxuriants et d'un lac serein, ce site est idéal pour des photos et une courte promenade tandis que votre guide partage des idées sur son design géométrique unique et son importance historique.
Visitez le cœur spirituel de la ville au temple Dhakeshwari, temple national du Bangladesh et site sacré hindou. Construit à l'origine au XIIe siècle, ce complexe dynamique est un lieu de culte actif où vous pourrez observer des rituels et des fêtes quotidiennes. Découvrez la diversité culturelle de Dacca et l'importance historique de ce temple dans les traditions hindoues locales.
Fort de Lalbagh, un complexe incomplet mais majestueux de fort moghol du XVIIe siècle commencé par le prince Muhammad Azam. Promenez-vous dans les jardins paysagers méticuleusement aménagés et explorez des structures clés comme la tombe de Pari Bibi, la mosquée de Lalbagh et un petit musée présentant des artefacts de l'époque moghole. Ce fort offre un aperçu du passé impérial et de la splendeur architecturale de la région.
Émerveillez-vous devant la complexité de l'art islamique à la mosquée de l'Étoile, joyau architectural du vieux Dacca. Célèbre pour sa mosaïque unique d'étoiles et de motifs floraux, cette mosquée a été construite à l'origine au XVIIIe siècle et décorée plus tard de tuiles japonaises et chinoises importées. Le calme et la beauté de la mosquée en font une étape de prédilection pour les passionnés d'architecture et les photographes.
Cachée dans les rues du vieux Dacca se trouve l'église arménienne de la Sainte-Résurrection, un rappel tranquille de la communauté arménienne autrefois florissante du Bangladesh. Construit en 1781, ce sanctuaire calme présente des pierres tombales magnifiquement préservées, des meubles anciens et de superbes vitraux. Il offre un aperçu rare du passé multiculturel de la ville.
Promenez-vous dans le temps à Shankhari Bazar, une ruelle étroite mais animée mettant en valeur le riche patrimoine de la communauté artisanale hindoue de Dacca. Cette rue est remplie de temples centenaires, de maisons colorées, de boutiques d'artisanat traditionnel et de scènes de rue animées. C'est l'un des plus anciens quartiers résidentiels de Dacca et offre une expérience culturelle profondément immersive.
Découvrez le cœur battant du système de transport de Dacca à Sadarghat, l'un des ports fluviaux les plus fréquentés au monde. Située sur la rivière Buriganga, cette zone regorge d'activités avec des centaines de bateaux et lance des passagers et des marchandises en ferry. Une courte promenade en bateau ici donne aux visiteurs un aperçu inoubliable de la vie quotidienne et de l'animation du Bangladesh fluvial.
Visitez le somptueux Ahsan Manzil, également connu sous le nom de Palais rose, une résidence du XIXe siècle des Nawabs de Dacca. Le bâtiment a été magnifiquement restauré en musée, présentant des artefacts historiques, du mobilier et des photographies de la période coloniale. Son grand escalier, sa façade rose et son emplacement au bord de la rivière en font l'un des endroits les plus photogéniques de Dacca.
Explorez le chantier de réparation navale graveleux mais fascinant le long des rives de la rivière Buriganga à Dacca. Cette attraction moins connue offre un aperçu brut et de près de l’industrie maritime florissante de la ville. Observez des ouvriers qualifiés démonter, réparer et repeindre des vaisseaux massifs à la main en utilisant des méthodes traditionnelles. Le chantier contraste fortement avec les sites historiques de la ville – un lieu où le travail acharné, l’artisanat et la vie industrielle se rencontrent dans un cadre spectaculaire au bord de la rivière. Une visite incontournable pour les photographes, les aventuriers et ceux qui s'intéressent à la culture ouvrière de Dacca.

i left the country some days ago and my mind is still there for all the mix of feelings i felt been there. i didn't have many expectacions about this country because of the lak of information about it. first of all i met Opu he understood the way i wanted to get to know the country. the most local way possible. The first day we went to the capital of Dkaga a Chaos but inside the chaos there is beautiful it was the monzón season but even that i enjoyed the life in the city and we took the ship all night to get to Barisal. all locals were very kind with me , they are happy having you , the appreciate you going there to visit their country. once we got to Barisal early in the morning we went to the floating market and to some villages next to the market been deeper in the local life. All the locals will invite to have some tea with them to have a conversation. After that we went to Sreemangal we took al kinds of public transport i enjoyed all of them. Once we got to screemangal we went to visit the tea plantations and the village around it.In some places was very crowded because they were celebration the Eid al -Adha ' festival of sacrifice'. We went to find some wildlife to Lawachara national park , we saw some but you know the nature is impredictable even that i enjoyed the walk there and the people.Then we went to Chittagong the second big city of Bangladesh we went to the boat's cementery is crazy but it is very worth 100% and after that we went to see some factorys it was very special too. After that we went Cox's bazar the beach Bazar the vibe there was amazing there, i watched and amazing sunset and we rented a motorbike to to go to see the moon boats they are traditional from Bangladesh and suddenly we came trough with a celebration of a sport called " boli khela" playing drummers , playing carts..... it was magical when it happens is special. you have to come to Bangladesh to experience this and very more. i didn't wanna leave i wanted to be exploring more i left the country wanting to come back again and this not always happen. it was more than expected , i have many emotions been there , this country deserve to be known much more so don't hesitate to contact Opu because thanks to him Bangladesh is one of my favourites countries so far and he will be all the time taking care of you to give you he best experience you can.
The tour was very interesting and the guide was fun . Its a great way to see Dhaka if limited on time in the city
Had an excellent day tour in Dhaka with Opu Been. He was very communicative in advance, prompt and professional. Best part was that he listened to my preferences and tailored the day to suit me. I appreciated getting to know the city with a local who knows how to get around. It also helps to have a sense of humor when dealing with an intense population with throngs of people in the streets and insane traffic. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
I visited Bangladesh as a solo traveller. I wanted to see as much as possible in 8 days. I took the ‘Bangladesh South Tour’ and it did not disappoint. After meeting Opu at the hotel I was sure we would get on. Next morning we took a bus to Sreemangal and visited tea plantations. Our transport there was a tuk tuk driver, a friend of his. The highlight there was visiting the different ethnic groups who worked on the tea plantations. Opu proved to be an excellent guide, very knowledgable and obviously loves his country. If I wanted anything eg. take a photo of something. The car would stop so I could. He would suggest where to go not on the itinerary. Places to eat, what to eat. Opu helped with everything if I wanted. The interactions with the people were the highlight of my trip. They were so inquisitive and with easy smile. Certainly an unforgettable trip with a fantastic guide/friend.
In addition to being a true professional, Opu is also a great person, and I am glad that I started our relationship for work reasons, and remained very good friends. Opu knows all the secrets of Dhaka: a city in many ways misunderstood and to be discovered, with its pitfalls and difficulties, as everywhere: with Opu you will feel at home, with a dear friend by your side!
Opu provided a unique, insightful and enjoyable tour around Dhaka’s most famous as well as lesser known sites and sounds. A tremendously enriching opportunity to fall in love with Bangladesh’s soul!
I have travelled to many countries as a solo traveller. However I decided that Bangladesh would be better with a guide. I am very glad that I did so. This is one of my favourite countries. It is so interesting ,from chaotic Dhaka to river travel, to the hill tribes, the sundarbands and so on. The people are extremely friendly and inquisitive. I have been twice and might well visit again. Opu Been is both a great guide and also a really nice guy. As others have said , you are in very safe hands. Professional, reliable and friendly. You will see so much. I loved my tours and have so many great photos. (You cannot help but take great photos in Bangladesh) This country is very under visited and overlooked but it’s a gem!
With BeenTours we did not only the city tour, but also a multi-day trip to the northwest of the country. It was a great tour, well organized and in very good English we received many explanations. Opu Been knows his country and loves it. He took us to the sights like the temples of Gauda or Mahasthangarh and Bogura, but also showed us lesser known grandiose places. Thanks to his contacts we were able to get in touch with the locals and even visit a Roma village. Been Tours is a very good option to experience Bangladesh, a country not yet flooded with tourism. We felt very safe and comfortable all the time.
