Dhaka
Dhaka is a city of relentless energy and depth—a sprawling metropolis where ancient traditions collide with urgent modernity. The capital of Bangladesh pulses with over 20 million people, centuries-old mosques rising above traffic-thick streets, and a creative fervor in everything from literature to fashion. It's a place that demands attention and rewards curiosity, where the pace is fierce and the humanity is everywhere.
