Dhaka is one of the world's most densely populated megacities — a chaotic, vibrant and surprisingly captivating capital of 20 million people. Old Dhaka's rickshaw-laced lanes, Lalbagh Fort, and the Pink Palace are Mughal-era relics. Dhaka is also the world's largest producer of muslin fabric — textile culture is everywhere.
