Hotel Highgarden
3-star
DhakaUSD 95–122 / night
The most practical mid-tier option in the capture for a show trip: free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, fitness centre, restaurant, room service and airport shuttle, quoted about 16% below its usual rate for the show window.
Blossom Hotel Dhaka
3-star
DhakaUSD 95–122 / night

Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
app ride-hail (car)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forHazrat Shahjalal International (DAC) to International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB)
Shortest captured car route is 16.5 km via N3, with a 17.8 km alternative via the Dhaka Elevated Expressway; both showed about 23 min in light traffic but regularly run far longer at peak. App metering plus expressway toll explains the range.
pre-booked airport taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forDAC arrivals to a Dhaka hotel or ICCB
Fixed-price airport taxi desks and hotel-arranged cars cost more than app rides but avoid app matching delays after a long flight; agree the fare and toll treatment before leaving the terminal.
CNG auto-rickshaw
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forAirport area and Bashundhara R/A to nearby hotels and the ICCB gate
Three-wheeler CNG is the cheapest motorised option for short trips around Bashundhara, but luggage space is limited and meters are not always used, so fix the price before boarding.
city bus (BRTC and local services)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forAirport Road corridor toward Bashundhara and central Dhaka
BRTC and private buses run along Airport Road and connect with the Bashundhara area. Cheap but crowded at peak hours and impractical with trade-show luggage or samples.
rail / commuter train
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forAirport station toward central Dhaka, then road transfer to ICCB
Dhaka's rail option is useful mainly to bypass road congestion on longer cross-city legs; it does not deliver you to the ICCB gate, so budget a final taxi or CNG hop. Rome2rio lists a Dhaka Airport to Dhaka train connection.
hotel airport shuttle
Estimated costIncluded in room rate at some hotels (confirm with the property)
Best forAirport to partner Dhaka hotels
Hotel Highgarden, Blossom Hotel Dhaka and SEL Nibash Hotel & Serviced Apartments all list airport shuttle among their amenities in the current hotel capture. Shuttle timings are usually fixed, so share your flight number in advance.
venue parking (private car)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forInternational Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) on-site car park
ICCB has on-site parking, but capacity tightens around opening hours during large trade fairs; arrive early or use a ride-hailing drop-off if you are not carrying display material.
Weather
Late April in Dhaka is hot and humid and sits in the pre-monsoon transition: daytime highs typically around 33-35 C with overnight lows near 24-26 C, humidity often above 70%, and short violent afternoon or evening thunderstorms locally called kalbaishakhi. Rain totals are well below the June-August monsoon peak but a single squall can flood low-lying roads and slow traffic for hours. Air quality is the other planning factor: Open-Meteo public forecast data for Dhaka showed a US AQI near 144 with PM2.5 around 40.9 micrograms per cubic metre, so sensitive visitors should carry a mask and check daily advisories.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mobile coverage in Dhaka is broad on 4G, with the main national operators (Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink) selling tourist and data SIMs at the airport and in city shops; a passport copy and photo are normally required at registration. eSIM support depends on your home carrier's roaming agreements, so set up roaming before departure if you need data on landing. 5G is limited and should not be assumed at the venue. Expect crowded networks inside halls during peak hours, download the floor plan and exhibitor list offline, and confirm ICCB visitor Wi-Fi availability with the organiser or venue.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Working week and show timing
Bangladesh works Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Exhibitor meetings and dealer visits should be planned around those days, and Friday prayer hours affect midday availability.
Currency and payments
The local currency is the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), and captured airfare and hotel quotes appear in BDT with some hotel results shown in INR equivalents. Cards are accepted at larger hotels and stores, but keep cash for taxis, CNG auto-rickshaws, parking and small workshop purchases.
Business etiquette
Introductions are usually friendly and fairly formal; a handshake with the right hand is normal in business settings, and business cards are exchanged early. Allow time for relationship building before price negotiation, especially with dealer and distributor prospects.
Dress and climate
Lightweight business attire suits the April heat and humidity. Modest dress is appreciated at religious sites and in conservative settings; carry a compact umbrella for pre-monsoon squalls.
Air quality
Open-Meteo air-quality data for Dhaka showed a US AQI near 144 with PM2.5 around 40.9 micrograms per cubic metre during the planning window. Sensitive travellers should follow local advisories and consider a mask for outdoor transfers.
Language
Bangla is the national language and English is widely used in business and at major venues. Product literature in both languages helps with workshop and dealer audiences.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: DAC
DAC is served by a mix of direct regional carriers and one-stop routings through Gulf and Southeast Asian hubs, including Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore and Delhi/ Kolkata. The captured Sydney example (Malaysia Airlines, one stop via Kuala Lumpur, about BDT 132,383 for one adult including taxes and fees, 15 hr 50 min total) is a directional benchmark only, not a quote. For the 22-24 April 2027 window, book early, set a fare tracker, and check baggage allowances since extra-bag fees on connecting itineraries can exceed the fare difference you saved. Arrive at least a day before your first meeting to absorb delays, keep your hotel and show confirmation in your hand luggage, and allow 45-60 minutes of road transfer from DAC to the Bashundhara side of the city.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC). Allow road or rail time to International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB): Dhaka city centre (Motijheel direction): Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka; Dhaka: Hotel Highgarden; Dhaka: Blossom Hotel Dhaka.
Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is the default way many Dhaka residents move around, with car and motorcycle options available from local and international operators. For the show, book a car rather than a motorcycle if you are carrying catalogues or samples, and confirm the expressway toll arrangement with the driver. Surge pricing appears during rain and around large event closing times, so allow ten extra minutes and check the app price before confirming. If you land late at Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC), compare the app quote with the airport taxi counter before choosing, and share your live trip with a colleague.
Public transit: Dhaka Metro Rail (MRT-6) runs from the Uttara area through Airport, Banani and Farmgate toward central Dhaka, giving a congestion-free ride on the northern corridor. It does not stop at International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), so plan a metro leg plus a short taxi or CNG hop from the nearest practical station. BRTC and private buses cover Airport Road and the Bashundhara area at very low fares but are crowded at peak hours and awkward with trade-show luggage. Confirm current metro hours, station access and any show-day shuttle arrangements with the organiser before relying on public transport for a fixed meeting time.
Parking: International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) has on-site parking for cars and coaches, and exhibitor vehicle movement is managed by the organiser alongside venue operations. Visitor parking typically charges a small per-entry fee, roughly BDT 50-150, but rates and hall access rules should be confirmed at the gate or with the organiser. Arrive early on the opening morning, follow marshal directions for the Bashundhara access road, and expect queues when a hall empties. If you are staying nearby, a ride-hailing drop-off avoids the parking queue entirely.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027 (show dates 22-24 April)
Temperature: Approx. 24-26 C overnight lows and 33-35 C daytime highs, with humidity often above 70%
Seasonality: Pre-monsoon transition: mostly dry hot days broken by short, intense afternoon or evening thunderstorms known locally as kalbaishakhi. Rainfall is far below the June-August monsoon peak, but a single squall can flood low-lying roads and disrupt traffic for hours.
Packing: Pack light breathable shirts and trousers, a compact umbrella or rain shell for sudden squalls, and comfortable closed shoes for walking the halls and the ICCB car park. Add a mask for poor air-quality days, high-factor sunscreen, and a refillable bottle since the heat and humidity are constant. A light formal layer is useful for dealer meetings and evening receptions, and a power bank keeps your phone alive through app-based transport and lead capture.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Dhaka Bike Show usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 1
Arrange airport pickup or install a ride-hailing app before landing at Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC). — Compare a pre-booked airport taxi with an app ride; both run the same corridor toward Bashundhara.
Day 2
Set up payment and connectivity: order Bangladeshi Taka cash for small purchases and check eSIM or roaming options for data during the show.; Check Dhaka air-quality advisories for the travel week and pack a mask if you are sensitive to particulate pollution. — Open-Meteo forecast data for Dhaka showed US AQI around 144 with PM2.5 near 40.9 micrograms per cubic metre.
Day 3
Shortlist the motorcycle, scooter, E2W, battery and spares stands you need to visit and prepare a one-page requirement sheet for dealer or supplier talks. — Parts, spares and workshop equipment buyers usually need part numbers and volume tiers ready before the meeting.
Day 4
Map your hotel-to-ICCB route and note a realistic travel buffer: the DAC to International Convention City Bashundhara run is short in distance but slow at peak traffic. — Dhaka congestion peaks in the morning and late afternoon; allow 60 minutes for an approximately 12 km trip.
Day 5
Register for Dhaka Bike Show through the organiser site and save the confirmation for badge collection at the venue. — Trade-only or public-day rules were not confirmed in the crawl; check the organiser page before you travel.
Day 6
Book the DAC flight leg and lock a Dhaka hotel for 22-24 April 2027, preferring properties with airport shuttle or easy access to the Bashundhara side of the city.; Confirm your Bangladesh visa status or visa-on-arrival eligibility, and check that your passport has at least six months' validity beyond the trip.; Leave the hotel with a full buffer, carry a printed or digital registration pass, and keep local currency cash for taxis and parking. — Security screening at the gate takes time on the opening morning of Dhaka trade fairs.
Day 7
Confirm meeting slots with exhibitors by email and save the hall plan on your phone for offline use. — Mobile data at a crowded venue can be slow; offline copies of the floor plan save time at the gate.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
How do I get from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) to the Dhaka Bike Show 2027 venue area?
DAC is about 16.5 km from the Dhaka show district, roughly a 23-minute drive via N3 in light traffic (17.8 km via the Dhaka Elevated Expressway). Taxis and rideshare apps are the most direct option; Rome2rio also lists an airport-to-city train, and several hotels in the capture offer airport shuttles.
Where should exhibitors and buyers stay for Dhaka Bike Show 2027?
The hotels capture returned 492 Dhaka properties. Pan Pacific Sonargaon Dhaka is the 5-star option with pools, spa and free parking, while Hotel Highgarden, Blossom Hotel Dhaka and SEL Nibash Hotel & Serviced Apartments are 3-star picks that bundle free breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking and airport shuttle. Booking for 22-24 April 2027 matches the show dates.
What currency is used in Dhaka and how should I budget?
The local currency is the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). Captured hotel and airfare quotes appear in BDT (some hotel results were displayed in INR equivalents), so compare total BDT costs including taxes and shuttle or taxi transfers when planning your trip.
What are the flight options to Dhaka for the April 2027 show?
For a Sydney departure on 22 April 2027, Google Flights showed one-stop Malaysia Airlines fares around BDT 132,383 for 1 adult including taxes and fees, with Guangzhou routings via China Southern also listed. Set a price tracker for the 22-26 April 2027 window and confirm baggage allowances before booking.
Glossary
- CKD (Completely Knocked Down)
- Motorcycle kits imported as disassembled components and assembled in a local plant. CKD assembly is the standard route for most brands selling two-wheelers in Bangladesh, so the show floor mixes finished bikes with frame, engine and plastic-part suppliers.
- SKD (Semi Knocked Down)
- Partially assembled units shipped with major modules already built. Sitting between full import and CKD, SKD determines how much local value addition and which duty slab applies to a model.
- CC (cubic capacity)
- Engine displacement in cubic centimetres. Bangladeshi commuter demand clusters around 100-150 cc machines, with 150-200 cc and above forming the premium and lifestyle segment shown alongside scooters.
- E2W (electric two-wheeler)
- Battery-driven motorcycle, scooter or moped. At Dhaka Bike Show, E2W exhibitors typically present both low-speed city scooters and highway-capable electric motorcycles.
- Lithium-ion pack
- Rechargeable cell assembly (commonly NMC or LFP chemistry) that powers an electric two-wheeler. Pack voltage, capacity in kWh and warranty cycles are the numbers buyers compare on the stand.
- BMS (battery management system)
- Electronics that monitor cell voltage, temperature and state of charge, and protect the pack from overcharge or deep discharge. BMS capability is a core differentiator for local pack assemblers and conversion kits.
- Battery swapping
- Model where a rider exchanges a depleted pack for a charged one at a kiosk instead of waiting to recharge. Relevant to Dhaka's ride-hailing fleets, where uptime drives daily earnings.
- Charging cabinet / AC charger
- Equipment that recharges packs at home, at a dealership or at a public point. Exhibits range from wall-mounted AC units for households to multi-pack cabinets for fleet depots.
- Homologation and registration
- The type-approval and registration steps a model must clear with the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) before it can be sold and plated. Importers and assemblers treat approval status as a launch gate.
- Aftermarket spares
- Parts sold outside the original-equipment channel: pistons, clutch plates, chains, brake pads, filters, bulbs and body panels. A large share of Dhaka workshops buys from this segment.
- Lubricants and consumables
- Engine oil, gear oil, brake fluid, coolant and chain lube. Oil marketers use two-wheeler fairs to reach workshops, dealers and high-mileage ride-hailing riders.
- Riding gear and PPE
- Helmets, gloves, jackets, boots and reflective apparel. Helmet standards and enforcement are a recurring theme for urban riders in Bangladesh.
- Dealer and upazila network
- The district and sub-district (upazila) sales and service points through which two-wheelers reach buyers outside Dhaka. Distributors use the fair to sign new territory dealers.
- Fleet and ride-hailing operator
- Businesses running motorcycles or scooters for passenger and delivery services. They buy in volume, care about total cost per kilometre, service intervals and financing terms.
- Telematics / GPS tracker
- Onboard unit reporting location, speed and diagnostics to an app. Used by fleet owners for theft recovery, usage-based insurance and preventive maintenance.
- Tubeless tyre and alloy wheel
- Tyre and wheel combinations that hold air without an inner tube and reduce puncture downtime. Tyre brands showcase sizes matched to the commuter and scooter models on display.
