Sobre esta Tip
Ramna Park is central Dhaka's green lung, and the best time to see it is early morning, when joggers, walking clubs and exercise groups fill the paths around the lake. A wooden deck and walkways now circle the water, and the old banyan tree called Batamul stands inside. Afternoons get busy, especially after Eid and on holidays, so aim for a weekday morning. Opening hours have changed over the years, so check at the gate before planning a late visit.
