The following airlines operate regular services between Chandigarh and Dhaka. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many people travel from Chandigarh to Dhaka for business, education, or visiting family. Dhaka is a bustling city with a rich history and culture, offering a mix of modern life and traditional Bengali heritage. Be prepared for a vibrant and crowded urban experience.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Dhaka is during the winter months, from November to February. The weather is cooler and drier during this period, making it more comfortable to explore the city. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

Getting from the airport to Dhaka

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) is well-connected to Dhaka city. You can take a pre-paid taxi from the airport to the city center, which costs around 500-800 Bangladeshi Taka. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Pathao are also readily available and may offer more competitive fares.

Things to do in Dhaka

Visit the National Museum to learn about the history and culture of Bangladesh. Explore the historic Lalbagh Fort, a Mughal-era architectural gem. Take a boat trip on the Buriganga River to experience the city from a different perspective. Wander through the vibrant streets of Old Dhaka, with its historic buildings and bustling markets.

Food to try

Try the traditional biryani, a flavorful rice dish with meat and spices. Sample some delicious street food like fuchka (crispy shells filled with spiced potatoes and chickpeas) and jhalmuri (puffed rice snack). Don't miss the opportunity to taste various sweets like roshogolla and chomchom.

Local tips

Learn a few basic Bengali phrases, as English is not widely spoken outside of tourist areas. Be prepared to bargain when shopping at local markets. Always carry small denomination currency for easy transactions with auto-rickshaws and street vendors.
