Your first meal is special. Enjoy authentic Bengali lunch with rice, lentils, fried eggplant, fish curry, and sweet chutney. The flavors are amazing and completely different from anything you've tried before.

After a short rest (2-3 hours), step outside for your first real taste of Dhaka. The evening streets come alive with energy. Try local street food like fuchka (similar to pani puri), chotpoti, grilled chicken, and sweet jilapi. Each bite tells a story of Bengali culture.

Overnight: Comfortable hotel in Dhaka

Day 2: Old Dhaka Adventure

Historic Palaces and River Life

Start your day like a local with traditional breakfast. Paratha bread, dal, and egg curry give you energy for a full day of exploring.

Your first stop is Ahsan Manzil, the famous Pink Palace. This beautiful building was once home to the Nawab of Dhaka. Now it's a museum filled with amazing artifacts and stories from Bangladesh's royal past.

Next comes the highlight of many visitors' trips - a boat ride on the Buriganga River. Watch daily life unfold along the water. You'll see shipbreaking yards where old ships get new life, and Badamtoli where boats gather like a floating city.

Walk through Shankhari Bazar, a street that's been here for hundreds of years. Hindu artisans still work here, creating beautiful items just like their ancestors did. The narrow alleys buzz with activity.

Sadarghat and Chowk Bazar are next. These markets assault your senses in the best way. Smell exotic spices, hear vendors calling, see colorful fabrics everywhere. For lunch, try the famous Old Dhaka kacchi biryani. This rice dish with tender meat is cooked in a clay pot and tastes incredible.

The afternoon takes you to Dhaka University Campus and Dhakeshwari Temple, Bangladesh's National Temple. End your shopping at New Market, where you can find perfect souvenirs.

Dinner in modern Gulshan or Banani shows you Dhaka's contemporary side.

Overnight: Dhaka hotel

Day 3: Journey to Tea Country

From City to Nature

Wake up early (6:00 AM) for the most scenic drive of your trip. The 5-6 hour journey to Shreemangal takes you through changing landscapes. Watch busy city turn into quiet countryside, then rolling green hills.

Shreemangal is called Bangladesh's tea capital for good reason. The air smells fresh and green. Your first stop is Lawachara National Park, a tropical rainforest that feels like stepping into another world.

This park is home to hoolock gibbons - rare apes that swing through the trees. You might also see macaques, colorful hornbills, and hundreds of butterfly species. A guided nature walk helps you spot wildlife and learn about the forest ecosystem.

The tea gardens are magical. Rows and rows of bright green tea bushes stretch to the horizon. Meet tea pickers and learn how they select the perfect leaves. Watch the processing that turns simple leaves into the tea in your cup.

Evening brings the famous 7-layer tea at Nilkontho Tea Cabin. Each layer has different flavors and colors. It's like drinking a rainbow!

Overnight: Eco-resort surrounded by tea gardens

Day 4: Culture and History

Tea Workers and Ancient Capitals

Start at the Tea Museum to learn more about Bangladesh's tea industry. The real treasure comes next - meeting actual tea workers. These hardworking people share stories about their lives and families. Their warmth and hospitality will touch your heart.

Visit a Monipuri tribal village to see a completely different way of life. The Monipuri people are famous for their weaving skills. Watch them create beautiful fabrics using techniques passed down for generations.

Your journey back toward Dhaka includes a stop at Sonargaon, once the capital of Bengal. This historic place holds secrets from centuries past.

Panam City looks like a movie set. These abandoned colonial mansions tell stories of British rule and wealthy merchants. Walk through empty halls and imagine life here 100 years ago.

The Folk Art & Craft Foundation showcases rural Bangladesh life. See traditional textiles, farming tools, and art that represent the real Bangladesh most visitors never see.

Lunch on the road gives you time to process all you've experienced. Arrive in Dhaka by evening for your final night.
