People in Dhaka will always complain that there isn’t much to do in the city, and while that’s true, moving a little further away might solve the problem. Recent decades have seen the rise of many elegant resorts, which provide the perfect backdrop for memorable day trips. While vacations are terrific, day trips are far more practical in terms of budget and time. Here are a few favorites to help you pick one,
MJ Holiday Resort
This small resort in Munshiganj is perfect for bonding purposes; it offers a great pool, along with a playing field and fishing pond. The place is beautiful, with a garden that is extremely well maintained. If one simply wants a few hours away with friends or some quality family time, then this is an ideal location. As per their corporate/family day out package, customers can choose one of three packagers which all fall comfortably under budget.
Nokhottrobari
This is quite the place, if all you want to do is roam about and admire the beauty around you. While booking rooms is super expensive, the entry fee is rather reasonable and lunch comes at a wide price range, which would just about match your budget. The interior of this haven is breathtaking with its shooting sets, water bungalows, greenery and other recreational spots, spanned over the spacious estate. For those who simply want to lose themselves in their surroundings, this place in Rajendrapur will make it hard for you not do so.
Ananda Park and Resort
Families with young children would especially like this one, as rides for kids are available here. Not to mention a large grass field with other attractions for the little ones. There’s also a swimming pool for the adults and an array of delicious dishes at their restaurant, making Ananda Park perfect for a few hours of family picnic time.
While there happens to be quite a number of resorts out there, for people who are a little more adventurous, day trips could also mean a day of bag packing around some of the great architectural wonders of our nation; Nawabganj, Bhoirob, Manikganj, Narayanganj are all places close enough to Dhakaites, each containing centuries old palace ruins, along with other cultural must sees. While using one’s own transport is the most convenient, for a real uncommon experience, hop on a local bus with friends; these places are all popular bus stops and accommodating hotels are quite easily available as well.
