Sadarghat & Buriganga Boat Ride
Old Dhaka
The beating heart of river Dhaka: giant multi-deck launches, ferries and hundreds of wooden noukas. Hire a small boat for a slow ride along the Buriganga and watch the city from the water.
Insider tips
Keep phones and wallets secure in the crowd, agree on the fare and duration up front, and avoid going out on the water after dark.
