Jahangirnagar University, located at 30 kilometres north and an hour drive from Dhaka. This beautiful campus is full of life & nature and it opens up all its tranquillity especially in winter and rainy season. Lakes, trees, cheapest Bengali food, culture, water lilies and birds – it sure is enough to bring you back to life from the dusty city-routine, Dhaka. JU is very welcoming to “tourists” on weekends.
The easiest and quickest way is to drive own vehicle. Public transports are available too from almost all parts of Dhaka. Depending on from where you are commuting, it will take from 1 hour to 1.30 hours to reach JU.
Jahangirnagar has a circular road which goes by almost all the faculties, lakes, monuments and food stalls. The best way to explore Jahangirnagar University Campus is by Riksha. It will give you a nice tour of the campus. Driving your own car inside of JU, you may miss the “fun” of a riksha ride and the cool breeze.
If time left you may visit Jatio Smriti Shoudho which is just 3kms north from Jahangirnagar University.
