For this tour we’ll go to one of the old capitals of Bangladesh: Sonargaon where we’ll take you to see the most important sights and the Folk Art and Crafts Museum and Panam Nagar, Goaldi Mosque and a small boat tour.

Sonargaon is one of the old capitals of the historic region of Bengal and also used to be an important  river port. The area was a base for the Vanga, Samatata, Sena, and Deva dynasties.

Sonargaon gained a lot of influence during the Delhi Sultanate and was the capital of the sultanate led by Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah and became one of the most important townships in Bengal, attracting many immigrants. Many mosques, tombs and other buildings were being made during this period. Later on it became the seat of the Baro-Bhuyan confederacy that resisted Mughal expansion under the Khans. Sonargaon then became a district of Mughal Bengal. We can find several Sufi Shrines, Hindu temples, mosques, tombs and other archaeological sites.
