Destination & City Travel Guide
About Dhaka
Dhaka needs a realistic plan for road travel. Old Dhaka holds Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil and lanes with food and craft shops, while the National Parliament complex lies in a different part of the capital. The Buriganga still shapes the southern riverfront. Travellers from India can spend a day in one district rather than losing hours crossing between distant stops. Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is north of the older centre, and road traffic makes a fixed arrival appointment risky.
Read more about Dhaka
Tips for travellers from India
Gulshan and Banani are practical bases for meetings in northern Dhaka, but they do not put the old-city monuments nearby. A sightseeing day around Ahsan Manzil, the Buriganga and Lalbagh Fort should therefore start from a realistic road plan. These southern stops belong together; the National Parliament complex is better scheduled separately. A hotel’s district is more useful to an airport driver than a generic reference to central Dhaka, which covers a large and congested area.
The airport’s shuttle-bus information describes a connection to nearby transport points, not a direct sightseeing circuit through Old Dhaka. Match its stopping point with the next leg before relying on it with luggage. In September 2026, international flights still used Terminals 1 and 2 while the new Terminal 3 awaited its opening, so give an airport driver the terminal printed on the booking rather than assuming the newest building. Around Ahsan Manzil, a riverfront visit gives context to the Buriganga’s working role; Lalbagh Fort provides a different enclosed heritage setting. A boat outing and a fort visit also need separate arrangements. If the trip is mainly business in Gulshan, reserve an uninterrupted block for Old Dhaka rather than squeezing it between appointments on opposite sides of the capital.
Best time to visit Dhaka
November to February, about 14–28°C, for city walks.

About Colombo
Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.
Read more about Colombo
Tips for travellers from India
Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.
Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.
Best time to visit Colombo
December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.
