Walking & transport

Check walking conditions, transport changes, clothing, timing, and access before setting out.

Practical travel notes

Panam Nagar and museum opening hours can change, and walking surfaces are uneven. This route remains in Sonargaon; it does not add distant Old Dhaka markets or a night program to an already full heritage day.
