The River Buriganga, is the lifeblood of Bangladesh. It’s fascinating to watch the large river ferries, overladen with people and the loading and unloading activities to ramshackle warehouses on the riverfront. Triple-decked ferries are docked along the side of the jetty while small wooden boats pile their trade in between. The shrill of sirens sound like an air raid as boats depart and arrive from the countryside.
There’s a small charge to enter the dock, but most boats will let you aboard for nothing.
Busy all day long, noisy, and dirty Sadarghat is the essence of Dhaka’s every day life. Easy to spend a half day here and a great place for those photo moments!
