A former capital close to Dhaka
Sonargaon brings several layers of Bengal’s history into a practical day trip from Dhaka. Panam City’s merchant houses, the folk arts museum, historic mosques, and surrounding settlements reveal a quieter landscape shaped by trade and craft.
Road time changes with Dhaka traffic, so an early start gives the heritage sites more room. A local guide can combine the principal sites with photography, rural walks, or a Bengali lunch without overloading the day.
