How to get there What it costs

Seasonal warning: Visitable year-round; riverside paths may flood in the monsoon.

Introduction

A Mughal river fort on the western bank of the Shitalakshya River, likely built soon after Islam Khan made Dhaka the Mughal capital to guard against Magh and Portuguese raiders. It is a protected Department of Archaeology site open to the public; the walls, gateway and corner bastions survive, though the watch tower is ruined.

Suggested time: 1 hour

How to get there

Take a bus or train from Dhaka to Narayanganj town, then a local rickshaw to Hajiganj; it can be combined with a Sonargaon trip in the same day.
