1. 08:00 – Hotel Pick-Up & Drive to Nayarhat

Your guide picks you up in a private, air-conditioned car. Drive out of the bustling capital into the green countryside of Savar, passing fields, bazaars, and villages.

2. Local Boat Ride to Kakran Pottery Village

Leave the car behind and board a small wooden boat for a 30-minute scenic ride along a quiet rural river. Watch fishermen cast nets, women wash clothes at the banks, and kids wave as your boat glides past. This approach sets the mood — you enter a slower, timeless Bangladesh.

3. Kakran Pottery Village — Living Clay Traditions

Arrive at Kumar Gram, a village where nearly every family works as a potter. Walk through courtyards stacked with drying pots, see artisans spin wheels by hand, and learn about clay preparation, earthen kiln firing, and decorative finishing.

👉 Highlight: Try the wheel yourself — guided by a local potter, you shape wet clay into your own creation. It’s fun, interactive, and photo-perfect.

4. Authentic Bengali Lunch

Return by boat to Nayarhat and enjoy a local lunch at a trusted restaurant — think fluffy rice, dal, fresh vegetables, and spiced chicken or fish. Hygienic, hearty, and authentic.

5. Dhamrai Brass Workshop — The Lost-Wax Tradition

In nearby Dhamrai, step into a family-run brass workshop where the ancient “Cire Perdue” technique still thrives. From wax modelling to clay moulds, from firing kilns to pouring molten metal — you see every stage of transformation. The glow of molten brass and the rhythmic hammering of artisans create a powerful encounter.

👉 Unique: Many pieces are religious icons or ceremonial vessels, and when you buy here, you support the makers directly.

6. National Martyrs’ Memorial, Savar

Finally, pay homage at the National Martyrs’ Memorial, Bangladesh’s most sacred monument to the 1971 Liberation War. Its seven soaring concrete triangles rise above tranquil gardens and reflection pools — a moving, solemn end to a day that connects craft, culture, and history.

7. Evening – Return to Dhaka

Drive back to Dhaka in the late afternoon/evening, full of memories, photos, and stories of Bangladesh’s living traditions.
