Step into large-scale handloom factories where colorful yarn dries in the sun. Visit the Rabindra Kachharibari (Nobel Laureate Tagore's country house) to connect literature with the landscape. You will have ample opportunity to buy textiles at wholesale prices before we return to Dhaka in the evening.
