Mustard Fields of Manikganj

Manikganj's low, flood-fed land is ideal for winter mustard, and from December into January whole stretches of country turn yellow. Beekeepers set out boxes along the field edges to collect mustard honey. The rural roads of Saturia, Ghior and Daulatpur are good for a slow drive or cycle. Go on a clear morning when the light is soft.

How to get there

Any rural road off the Dhaka–Aricha highway; hire a CNG for a few hours.

Good to know

Stay on the field edges and ask before walking through crops; buy fresh mustard honey from beekeepers.
