You want to visit Nuhash Palli, the film set-turned-tourist spot in Gazipur. But getting there isn’t always straightforward. The place sits in Salna village, about 40 kilometers north of Dhaka. Most people start from the capital.
The easiest way is to take a bus from Dhaka to Gazipur. Head to Abdullahpur bus stop in Uttara. From there, you’ll find local buses heading to Gazipur’s Chowrasta. The ride takes about an hour, depending on traffic. Fare is around 40-60 taka. Once at Chowrasta, you need a rickshaw or CNG to reach Nuhash Palli. That’s another 6-7 kilometers east. Expect to pay 150-200 taka for the rickshaw, or 250-300 for a CNG. The whole trip from Dhaka takes roughly two hours.
By Train to Gazipur
Another option is the train. Several local trains run from Dhaka’s Kamalapur station to Gazipur. The journey is about 45 minutes. Trains like the Mymensingh Express or local commuter trains stop at Gazipur station. Check the schedule beforehand—trains are frequent but not always punctual. From Gazipur station, you’ll need a rickshaw or CNG to Nuhash Palli, another 5-6 kilometers. The rickshaw fare is around 120-150 taka.
What to Know Before You Go
Nuhash Palli is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM. Entry fee is 50 taka for adults. The site is a replica of a village used for film shoots, so you’ll see artificial ponds, huts, and gardens. It’s small—you can cover it in an hour. There’s a small restaurant inside but choices are limited. Bring snacks and water. The best time to visit is winter (November to February) when the weather is cool. Avoid Fridays and public holidays if you want fewer crowds. The area is safe, but keep an eye on your belongings. Mobile network works fine. Return to Gazipur by the same rickshaw or CNG; drivers often wait for passengers. Confirm the return fare in advance.
