Old Town Dhaka Day Tour — Frequently Asked Questions

You can spend your day exploring Old Dhaka's historic streets on an authentic rickshaw ride and visiting diverse places of worship like the Dhakeswari Temple and Star Mosque. This day tour also includes a pleasant cruise on the Buriganga River and a hearty traditional lunch of Bengal classics.

The tour includes a traditional Bengali lunch, all rickshaw fares, and the Buriganga River boat cruise fee. Entrance fees to specific religious sites are also covered as part of the itinerary.

The full itinerary typically lasts between six to eight hours, accounting for the rickshaw rides, site visits, river cruise, and lunch.

Participants will spend most of the time seated in rickshaws or on the boat, but should expect moderate walking and stair climbing when exploring the Dhakeswari Temple and Star Mosque.

The tour typically starts with a hotel pickup in central Dhaka or a designated meeting point near the Dhakeswari Temple, and concludes at the Sadarghat River station or your hotel.

The tour is suitable for most ages, though elderly travelers and young children may find the crowded historic streets and uneven surfaces around the temples challenging to navigate.

Wheelchair accessibility is highly limited, as traditional rickshaws require stepping up into the carriage and historic sites like the Star Mosque have stairs and narrow, uneven pathways.

Tours generally commence in the early morning around 8:00 AM to navigate the narrow streets before peak traffic congestion and to visit the river station while it is most active.

You must bring modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and you should carry a pair of slip-on shoes or socks since footwear must be removed before entering these places of worship.

If river conditions are deemed unsafe due to severe weather, the boat cruise portion will be canceled and replaced with an extended walking tour of additional historic landmarks in Old Dhaka.

Public restrooms are scarce and often lack Western-style facilities along the narrow historic streets, so it is highly recommended to use the facilities at your hotel and the designated lunch restaurant.
