having been to Dhaka several times I haven't had the chance
to explore the historical old part of the city
I was invited by a friend I met on social media
who showed me around this part of the city located on the
banks of the buriganga river
I was fascinated by the hustle and bustle of
this vibrant area
Also known as
PURAN Dhaka
meet Azim Rana
He is a friend I met on social media
and he's gonna show me
around this part of Dhaka
So guys I'm really looking forward to
going to old Dhaka I've never been to old Dhaka in my life and this is the first time
I'm really looking forward to the foodies over there I've
always seen them on YouTube on TV and the food the street food looks amazing
and apparently it's one of the most it was one of the largest and streetfood
havens in the whole world believe it or not so there's other
places I'm going to visit over there I'm gonna go to AHSAN MANZIL and a few of
the places now stay tuned till the end hope to show you some good footage
from old DHAKA
so we took an uber from Gulshan
so friends you'll hardly see
DHAKA like this and it's never empty like this this is a really unusual
sighting of Dhaka because this is what the traffic of Dhaka really looks like
it's quite early in the morning right now it's about quarter to 8 now and the
roads are quite empty in Dhaka city and to be honest it's Saturday so it's a
weekend and people aren't working today so that's why it's quiet and we've got
my friend here Azim Rana here now we're gonna go grab an uber uber there
a very old place called shakhari bazaar and it's actually
basically put on Dhaka and that's where the river is in BuriGanga that's where
the burignga the river is and we're gonna go to the port that was more we've
just arrived at this road called Johnson Road and we're gonna walk to shakhari
bazaar we're gonna get our breakfast and this we will ride on it was 20 minutes
believe it or not 20 minutes from Gulshan normally it takes about two and
a half hours in the traffic but we just beat the traffic with this Saturday
edition public holiday tomorrow as well in this day and age you don't see the
old heritage buildings that were built by the Mughals and the British Empire
during the 16th and the 19th century unfortunately these would even knocked
down or engulfed by high-rise buildings like these ones but the government
recently announced that they want to keep part of this area as a Heritage
Site and this place is called Shikari bazaar this whole area Shikari Bazaar is
predominantly predominantly a Hindi area and then just behind me and is a Hindu
temple it's called and three three so need
every Monday and you can see behind me
so basically people of all religions in this part of dhaka
live in harmony with one another and they celebrate a wide range of festivals
for example SHAKRAIN , HALKHATA and POHELA FALGUN
so traditionally this place has been the place where Hindus were buying all the
stuff that was necessary for Hindu offerings in the temples and such as
flowers and fruits coconuts and bananas and this is where they used to buy all
these stuff and they still do
with some time for breakfast now and I chose this place behind me and it's one
of the local restaurants we're going to have a simple
parasha and eggs so guys um this isn't listen your fancy restaurant or anything
this is just a local restaurant here in the local streets and if you want to try
the real taste of Hangzhou and this is where you need to come from we're just
gonna get our simple and burrata and eggs for our breakfast I'm gonna get
some tea as well
so this is a particular pirata
just like you guys gonna tap the belly button on my youtube channel
yes this was a maraca Kalamandir and there's loads of mondays here like I
said this is a Hindu area Islam for example
I'm not eligible a mother hotel Sunday afternoon okay we are heading towards a
sermon sale which is a very interesting historical architecture of all Dhaka
but I'm gonna be making another vlog out of this so do stay tuned for the next
one
so here in pure andhaka there's so many cards here and I just got confused which
cut I mean just so you know that means port in English and this is what the
ports look like from the sky
the key mammarra layali wa tuula photo a Gallagher show the other cut is over
there and this is for to us this is photo a colleague art we never let you
get information from people you don't need to research anything they have
people will tell you so this is photo a colleague art and we're gonna jump on a
boat here
we're gonna go on the top floor on the terrace and to get the views of the
river and also and see if I can sneak a fly my drone from there
they launch a non-key so this is the Thunder bottom line so
this is the jacking area and this is a river
I'm gonna go on top under Terrace is so sunny and bright
today is like 35 degrees and sorry humid I'm sweating
they're tile on top we live in danger to me
woopsy day
while amazing view behind me hand of your people OCC people plus from one
side to the other side of the river and that's how they bus here though this is
only for people like we do business here and the street hawkers and also the poor
people too hard today's too sunny and morally exhausted is off past nine and
imagine at 12 o'clock what it's gonna be like I'll be roasting it's really
impossible to fly around here in Nam all tanka and there's nowhere no snow flat
surface no space and everywhere you go is gonna pout so we managed to I'm
jumped on this boat on top of this boats you see and there's no one over them
these guys here who are very friendly
I hope you guys enjoyed the drone and that was very rare it was it's almost
impossible to hearing in the sky in Dhaka but we managed to hit by sneaking
on a boat and just playing it from there
Dhaka City is a full of traffic jam we've already been already caught up in
a traffic jam here it's a rickshaw jam
this is a mulku t gut and behind me you can see these little boats and people
travel from the other side of that car such as karate guns and they all come to
Dhaka on these boats and the boat cost about five to ten ten taka Fink and also
a lot of business people come as well to do business here in puron Dhaka so yeah
this is a this is an bui Ganga river and the view is absolutely amazing
the only problem is the water stinks is like rainwater it's polluted it's full
of chemicals and it's got a lot of garbage in here as well garan even
dipped in a seat at the Indy this guy and he just traveled from the other side
and he's from Kearney Ganj and he come here every single day an
anti Bayern umbrellas he's got business there Cinnabon Grenada is gonna take it
back to his shop
this place and attracts a lot of tourists here and you see a lot of
tourists in this area that people are kill used to seeing people walking and
talking on the camera like me this it's not abnormal to do that here and what
everyone's doing it right now I really can't cope with the heat
anymore it's 12 o'clock and the sun's right above my head and it's very humid
and it's horrible right now and sweaty and sticky and so I'm gonna head back to
old Gulshan to get some lunch I was gonna
get some street food here but I don't think is gonna happen I'll just come
take it anymore but you guys do come here make sure you come around just
after 4:00 p.m. or just people foot is really nice and that's when all the
sweet food markets come out and but we had the chance to get some good views of
the hot Sun Moon Hill and River area also and got some good drone footage I
