Tour Highlights

  • Explore Panam Nagar, the highlight of our Panam City tour—a 19th-century abandoned town featuring over 50 elegant mansions once owned by wealthy Hindu cotton merchants.
  • Experience rural life up close on a sandbank island in the Meghna River—an authentic village experience that's a signature feature of our Sonargaon tour.
  • Discover the beautifully preserved Goaldi Mosque, a beautiful 16th-century example of pre-Mughal architecture, showcasing Bengal's Islamic heritage.
  • Visit the 15th-century tomb of an independent Sultan of Bengal in Sonargaon, a key historical site rarely included in any Sonargaon tour.
  • Walk through the Baro Sardar Bari, a grand colonial mansion now fully restored, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Panam era.
  • Learn about traditional crafts and textiles at the Folk Arts and Crafts Museum, an essential stop on your Sonargaon tour package.
  • Take a peaceful boat ride on the scenic Meghna River, one of Bangladesh's major waterways, and enjoy a break from the bustle of Dhaka.

Important Notes

  • Sonargaon & Panam City Tour is available to book any day of the week except Sunday, year-round.
  • Panam Nagar will be closed on Sunday and will open after 02.00 pm on Monday. That is why we do not offer this tour on Sunday, as Panan Nagar is one of Sonargaon & Panam City Tour's highlights.
  • Sonargaon Folk-arts and Crafts Foundation, which contains the Boro Sardar Bari and the Folk-arts and Crafts Museum, will be closed on Thursday. You can see the beautiful mansion from outside if you book this tour on this day.
  • There will be a heavy rush of local tourists at Panam Nagar and Sonargaon Folk-arts and Crafts Foundation on Friday, being the weekend.
  • Panam Nagar will remain closed on any public holiday.
  • Villagers on the river island we’ll be visiting are conservative. You should dress modestly on this tour. Wearing short pants/skirts, and sleeveless t-shirts/blouses will not be appropriate for the ladies. Bare shoulders and midriffs should be covered with shawls. Wearing short pants for men will not be a problem.
