Local gems in Dhaka

Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital, holds many layers beyond its busiest landmarks. The Dhakeshwari National Temple and Central Shaheed Minar speak quietly to the city's cultural depth, while Bangabhaban and the National Parliament House carry a measured civic gravity. Along the Buriganga River, everyday Dhaka unfolds at its most vivid. Lesser-visited spots such as Dhanmondi Shahi Eidgah, the Dhaka University Central Library, the Tomb of Ziaur Rahman, and the historic grounds of Tejgaon Airport reward those willing to look a little closer at what this city keeps off the main trail.
