Baldha Garden, Botanical garden in Wari, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Baldha Garden is a botanical garden in Wari, Dhaka, organized into two sections named Cybele and Psyche with water features throughout. The grounds contain around 672 plant species and feature a modern tissue culture laboratory for propagating rare varieties.
The garden was founded in 1909 by Narendra Narayan Roy Chaudhury, a landowner who developed it continuously until 1943. This period of expansion established the core collection that remains today.
The garden serves as a meeting place where locals gather for morning exercise and meditation among the trees. It also functions as a research center for studying rare plants from around the world.
The Department of Forestry manages the grounds, and you can move easily between the two sections using the walking paths. Visit early in the morning when it is cooler and less crowded.
The garden contains thousands of individual trees, including tropical water lilies and African tulip trees sourced from different parts of the world. This global collection makes it one of the few places in Dhaka where you can see such a diversity of plants from distant regions in one location.

Bangladesh extends from the Brahmaputra delta to the hills near the Myanmar border. The country combines historical structures with natural settings that suit photography. In Dhaka, mosques from the 17th century stand near buildings from the 20th century. The coast shows long sandy beaches and small islands in the Bay of Bengal. In the northeast, tea plantations sit on gentle hills, while wetlands and swamps become water-covered landscapes during the monsoon season. Places like Lalbagh Fort and Ahsan Manzil document the Mughal era and colonial influences in the capital. The Sixty Dome Mosque in Bagerhat dates from the 15th century and shows early Islamic architecture in the region. Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban, the parliament building by Louis Kahn, represents modern design. Natural areas like Ratargul Swamp Forest or the tea gardens near Srimangal offer different subjects. Cox's Bazar beach stretches for many miles (kilometers) along the coast. Saint Martin Island lies farther south in the sea. Sajek Valley in the Chittagong Hill Tracts shows mountainous terrain with views over forested slopes.
