Sonargaon Day Tour (Tour Code: TH02)

The Old Capital Bengal Tour and the Folk Art Museum Tour

Tour Itinerary
At 8.00 a.m. we will pick you up from your Dhaka Hotel and drive to Sonargaon. Sonargaon is a historic city in central Bangladesh. It corresponds to the Sonargaon Upazila of Narayanganj District in Dhaka Division. It is one of the old capitals of the historic region of Bengal and was an administrative center of eastern Bengal. It was also a river port. Its hinterland was the center of the muslin trade in Bengal, with a large population of weavers and artisans. 

At first, you will visit Banglar TajMahal is a scaled copy of the original Taj Mahal (a Mughal mausoleum located in Agra, India) located 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka in Sonargaon and then you will visit Rajmoni Pyramid in Sonargaon. It is mainly movie set but most of the tourist visits this place as it newly built. After visiting these places, you will move to the Folk Art Museum.

Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum remains open from morning to afternoon (9 AM to 5 PM). Wednesday and the Thursday, this museum is closed for weekend. This is prosperous with several unique collection those you’ll never find at any other place. Some are lost from our country, and only those are remains. The main museum building is placed at the “Sardar Bari”. “Sardar Bari” was built by a Hindu Zamindar of Sonargaon in 1901. Alike the other Zamindar house of that period, this one also looks like Indian houses, but the shape of the house was looked like the European Palaces. The baroque decoration and the elaborated painting on the plaster of the building are really eye catching. The Folk Art and Craft Museum of Sonargaon was established by Bangladeshi painter Joynul Abedin on March 12, 1975. It’s a vast area, and will take you lots of time to round the area. You’ll find a art gallery of “Zainul Abedin” inside the museum area. There are two Exhibition Galleries inside the museum. Both of them consist of some status showing the local life of Bangladeshi people, for example farming, woman working etc. Also you’ll find the miniature version of the several boats from my country, which are now days vanished after competing with the mechanical vehicles.

After that we will take you to the local restaurant for lunch and later on we will go to Panam City (Panam Nagar) to see the beautifully decorated buildings constructed around the end of 18th century. It would be a very busy tour. We respect tourist timing. Please fix the time after discussing with tour guide and the driver and then enjoy the city with in your time frame. By evening we will drop you at your Dhaka Hotel.
