History & significance

Commercial rose cultivation began here in 1990 on former Bhawal estate land; today roughly nine in ten local farming families live off flowers. Housing projects buying the fields are slowly shrinking the village.

How to get there

By boat: engine trawler from Diabari ghat (Mirpur-12) to Sadullapur ghat, ৳40, then a ৳20 battery auto. By road: bus to Savar/Birulia, then an auto for ৳20–40. From Uttara: rickshaw/auto across Birulia bridge, ৳100–200 reserve.

Entry fee

৳0–50 · traveller-reported

Walking the village is free; entering a rose field for photos costs about ৳50 per person; picking flowers brings a fine (৳100–500 per flower reported).

Opening hours & best time

No gates or fixed hours — come in daylight; the Mostapara wholesale flower market runs at night.

Best time

Peak bloom late November to late February; go early in the morning.

Traveller tips

No vehicles inside the lanes — wear covered shoes; paths are thorny red mud.
Buy flowers — bouquets are ৳80–150, a fraction of city prices; that is the support farmers actually need.
