Dhaka’s Top Sights: we end our Bangladesh adventure by showing some of the first things we saw and what mist visitors experience in Dhaka.

- Dhakeshwari Temple: The oldest Hindu temple in Dhaka, blending history with spiritual significance.
- Star Mosque (Tara Masjid): A mosque adorned with star-shaped mosaic patterns, a hidden gem out of reach to women. We could look through the fence …
- Armenian Church: A historic 18th-century church, offering a glimpse into Dhaka’s Armenian heritage and now used and maintained by British as I understood it.
- National Parliament House: A modern architecture symbolizing Bangladesh’s democracy. Rather important.
- Bangladesh National Museum
- Hatirjheel Lake: An urban lake for a tranquil escape within the city.

Capture the essence of Dhaka’s rich history, diverse culture, and stunning architecture!
When we left, all the statues of the father of the nation were destroyed and posters with the former prime minister, her father ‘the father of the nation’ and others from her government were removed. They were everywhere when we arrived and two weeks later, they were nowhere.
