About This River

The Buriganga has been Dhaka's river since the Mughal era, when the city grew along its banks as a river port. Today Sadarghat remains the launching point for launches to the southern districts, though the river itself suffers from severe industrial pollution.

A short Sadarghat boat ride at sunset, past the old city waterfront and Ahsan Manzil, is a classic Old Dhaka experience.

💰 Economic Importance

Dhaka's main inland cargo/passenger terminal, historically lined with tanneries and textile industries along its banks.
