Sadarghat

The main river port of Dhaka on the banks of the Buriganga, Sadarghat is one of the busiest inland ferry terminals in the world. Its crowded jetties throng with passengers boarding paddle steamers and launches bound for the country's southern delta towns. The riverfront offers a vivid spectacle of porters, vendors and vessels crammed along the water, capturing the frenetic energy of the capital's connection to Bangladesh's riverine heartland. A boat ride from here provides a memorable view of the old city's waterfront and its ceaseless traffic.
