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, making it more comfortable for sightseeing. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

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 for approximately 800-1200 Bangladeshi Taka. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Pathao are also readily available and often more convenient.

Things to do in Dhaka

Take a boat trip on the Buriganga River to experience the city from a different perspective. Wander through Sadarghat, Dhaka's main river port, for a sensory overload of activity.

Food to try

Try Biryani, a flavorful rice dish with meat and spices, is a must-try. Sample Pitha, traditional Bengali cakes, come in various shapes and flavors, especially during winter. Don't miss out on street food like fuchka and chotpoti, tangy and spicy snacks.
