You’ll find interesting subjects to shoot here every moment. It is one of the best places on earth for street photography. Unlike elsewhere, people here willingly pose for photos without asking for money. In Dhaka Photography Tour, we’ll take you to some bustling backstreets, bazaars, river ports, shipyards, and a train station in New and Old Dhaka, looking for the perfect subjects to photograph. Regardless of your photography experience or equipment, this tour will provide unforgettable moments to capture and keep forever.

Important Notes

This tour is NOT available to book on Fridays and public holidays, because all the bazaars will be closed during these days, so no activity to photograph.
The itinerary of the Dhaka Photography Tour is just an outline and not fixed. We will adjust it during the tour based on the traffic.
If booking a private tour, pick-up and drop-off will be available from any part of Dhaka city.
Dhaka Photography Tour is a complete walking tour. We will transport you to and from the start and end location and one long-distance in the middle with an air-conditioned car. The rest of the sites will be covered on foot. Be prepared to walk a lot and wear shoes accordingly.
There will be no photography lessons from pro photographers on any of our photography tours. We'll provide a general English-speaking guide on the tour, who will simply take you to all the places listed in the itinerary, which are very photogenic if you have enough interest.

How is your Dhaka Photography Tour different than the others?

★ Safety: Ensuring your safety is our top priority. We equip our boat rides with life jackets, which almost no one uses in Bangladesh. We never compromise safety by overloading the boat on the rivers. Our drivers are trained to navigate the roads, providing a safe journey in a country where driving can be chaotic. Our vehicles will have seatbelts, which is extremely rare in Bangladesh.
