This Sonargaon Day Tour is more than just a sightseeing trip — it's a cultural journey into the heart of Bengal’s glorious past and vibrant present. We combine historical depth, local craftsmanship, and natural beauty into one immersive experience. Unlike other tours that only skim the surface, we take you deeper — walking the ghostly lanes of Panam City, exploring rare Sultanate-era mosques, experiencing live Jamdani weaving by UNESCO-recognized artisans, and gliding through the tranquil Meghna River to a peaceful island village.

You’ll travel in comfort with a knowledgeable local guide who brings stories to life — not just facts. Whether you’re a photographer, culture enthusiast, or first-time visitor to Bangladesh, this curated experience offers authenticity, warmth, and unforgettable moments.

    Sonargaon Folk Art and Craft Museum

    Housed in the former palace of a wealthy zamindar, this museum is a cultural treasure trove. Inside, explore traditional Bangladeshi folk art including masks, musical instruments, textiles, and pottery. The palace itself — with its colonial-era architecture and lush gardens — offers a photogenic and immersive cultural experience.

    2 hours • Admission ticket included

    Panam Nagar

    Wander through the silent, narrow lanes of Panam Nagar, a 19th-century abandoned merchant town. Its elegant, decaying mansions whisper stories of a lost era of trade and wealth. This is the most iconic site in Sonargaon, ideal for photos, exploration, and soaking in the atmosphere of a bygone Bengal.

    1 hour • Admission ticket included

    Visit the birthplace of Jamdani, the UNESCO-recognized fine muslin textile. Watch master artisans hand-weave intricate patterns on traditional looms. You'll learn the history of this centuries-old craft and can even purchase authentic Jamdani sarees and scarves directly from the weavers.
