Gulshan is considered an affluent suburb and is often regarded as the “posh area” in Bangladesh, mainly in Dhaka. It is a part of Dhaka North City Corporation and has an area of 8.85 sq./km, close by Mohakhali, Korail Basti, and the Banani Lake flowing through the middle.

Based on the type of people who live there and the activities that go on there, the Gulshan Model Town has been divided into Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2. These areas include Baridhara, Niketan, Banani, and the main Gulshan city.

The Gulshan area guide shows it has around 50% residential, 32% commercial and diplomatic, and 18% land area. Along with the most lavish residential parts, the town has many embassies and high commissioners’ residences. That is why it is one of the most highly secured areas in Dhaka, with a low crime rate.

Moreover, Gulshan is well-planned and not overly crowded, partly because living in the residential area is expensive. Despite that, there are always ongoing building projects taking place in the area. However, it is filled with beautiful landscapes, restaurants, supermarkets, entertainment facilities, schools, colleges, medical, commercial, financial institutions, etc.

This area is the ultimate destination for people who love exploring food and other recreational areas filled with aesthetic vibes. Many people are attracted to this area due to its well-known restaurants and top-class food.

In addition, you can visit some of the city's significant parts, such as Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park, Gulshan Lake Park, and Banani Club Field, and visit some of the best restaurants in Dhaka.

However, transportation in the area is quite limited as there are many VIP residences. That is why direct public transportation communication from the residential area is challenging.
