Winding, unnamed streets and back alleys of Old Dhaka, Bangladesh

Being from India I am used to the narrow streets but nothing could have prepared me to tackle Old Dhaka single-handedly, with its winding, unnamed streets and back alleys. When we left for Lalbagh fort from Sadarghat we set off on a harrowing, bumpy ride through the ancient city's narrow streets with a lot of garbage throughout.

Wedged between the commercial centre of Bangladesh's densely populated capital and the Buriganga River, Old Dhaka began its life as a port city with numerous bazaars. It was built in brick in the British colonial style, with colonnades and balconies. Like most of the older structures in Old Dhaka, it was in serious need of restoration—years of broiling heat and monsoon rains had taken their toll. The stucco had peeled off the walls and columns to expose the brick, and its wooden balconies sagged.
