Additional Information

Dhaka bears testimony to the Armenian colony that arrived as part of the Armenian migration from Persia. The Armenian populace of Dhaka greatly influenced Bengali trade and business. Despite being a small community in Dhaka, they were dynamic and lively. Some affluent Armenians lived in European-style mansions. There are several untold tales of shifting fortunes that our walking tour will uncover. During this exploration, we will visit several Armenian community sites in Dhaka, discover heritage buildings and locations with their unshared narratives, understand the Armenians, their customs, Dhaka’s vibrant community, and some melancholic but factual history of their fluctuating wealth. This excursion includes a distinctive local breakfast at an antique café in Old Dhaka.

Eye opening tour in Old Dhaka! - I visited Old Dhaka (Puran Dhaka) numerous times, but this tour was really eye opening for me as the Lost Panoroma team has roots at old dhaka. They are quite familiar with the lanes of Old Dhaka as well as their history! The tour was well organized, well communicated & full of enthusiasm. If you are interested in Old Dhaka, you shouldn't miss this walk.

Great time at Old Dhaka - Armenian Walk - Our group of 12 had a most wonderful time at the Armenian Walk. We're all Bangladeshis living in Dhaka and some of us have been to the locations before but it was great to have a "tour" of the place with information that we've never known before. The tour guides are truly passionate about the Old Dhaka and their love shines through and I would go on every walk they arrange! One of the nicest weekend activities you can do in Dhaka - please do this if you can :)
