Backpacking in Nuhash Polli
👀 For curious travelersattraction ranked #22
By Johan Kruseman 🇳🇱 | Updated May 29, 2026

Forget the Instagram fantasy—Nuhash Polli isn’t some untouched, secret Eden. It’s a real, lived-in retreat about 40 kilometers from Dhaka, in Gazipur, and yes, you’ll share it with selfie squads and school groups. But here’s the kicker: the place hums with the creative spirit of Humayun Ahmed, Bangladesh’s literary giant. It’s not cheap or remote, but the blend of quirky sculptures, wild greenery, and genuine cultural weight gives it a soul you won’t find at the usual tourist magnets.

Humayun Ahmed’s Writing Cabin
This isn’t just a room with a desk. It’s the creative bunker where one of Bangladesh’s most beloved storytellers actually wrote. The walls are lined with his books, and you can practically smell the ink and late-night tea. If you’re a fan, this is hallowed ground. If you’re not, you’ll still feel the pulse of creative obsession.

The Treehouse
Forget the Instagram fantasy of a perfect, empty treehouse. This one is quirky, lived-in, and surrounded by the kind of wild greenery that makes you believe in childhood again. It’s not polished, but that’s the point—it’s a place to climb, sit, and let your imagination run riot.

Fantasy Sculptures and Oddities

Fantasy Sculptures and Oddities
Scattered across the grounds are surreal statues and installations—think dinosaurs, witches, and other oddball creatures. It’s weird, it’s playful, and it’s a direct line into Humayun Ahmed’s offbeat sense of humor. You won’t find this kind of eccentricity in any manicured city park.

The Pond and Bamboo Grove
This is where the crowds thin out. The pond is ringed with bamboo and feels like a secret, especially in the early morning mist. It’s the antidote to Dhaka’s chaos—quiet, green, and just a little bit magical, even when there are other visitors around.
