About This Station
Narayanganj Railway Station serves Narayanganj - Bangladesh's most densely industrialised city, located just 15 kilometres south of Dhaka along the Sitalakkhya River. Historically known as the 'Dundee of the East' for its jute industry, Narayanganj is today the heartbeat of Bangladesh's garment export economy, with hundreds of textile and ready-made garment factories. The train from Dhaka's Kamalapur takes under an hour, making Narayanganj one of the most accessible day trips from the capital. The key historic attraction near Narayanganj is Sonargaon - the ancient Sultanate-era capital of Bengal - where the Panam Nagar 'ghost city' of abandoned 19th-century merchant mansions and the Bangladesh Folk Art and Craft Museum provide a vivid window into pre-partition Bengali life.
