Cheap flights to Dhaka

The cheapest time to visit Dhaka would definitely be October. October comes just before November, which is when the skies begin to clear up after the monsoons. Beat other tourists to the finish line by coming in early, in October and profit by having an early bird attitude. July is also another cheap month to visit Dhaka but the month is too near to June, which is the busiest for tourism in the city. That is because many Bangladeshis return home from all corners of the world for the summer vacation in June. This skyrockets the accommodation and air travel prices. These high fares plummet late in July when the monsoons hit Dhaka. Even though it rains seventeen times a month during the July to September period, the cheap airfare and low priced accommodations make this month quiet attractive to people travelling on a budget.

There are multiple ways of getting around Dhaka city. The cycle rickshaws are the cheapest and the fastest, although they don’t have any windscreens so the passengers are exposed to the elements. British travellers usually fall in love with the auto-rickshaw that runs on compressed petroleum gas. These rickshaws are low profile and keep the street vendors and beggars away. Moreover, they are super cheap. For only two hundred Takka you can travel from Old Dhaka to the outskirts of the city quickly. They are tiny and easily swim through the tightest traffic jams Dhaka is known for. Apart from that taxis and cars for hire are also available.
