Hello,

Yes, I've been to Dhaka. Actually I am from Dhaka. Weather in Oct as I remember (it's been long haven't been there in Oct) it would be quite disgusting. Heat and humidity.

Traffic is WORSE there. So, I'm not sure if after work you would be able to see anything. But Parliament is right in the middle of everything, and worth a visit. It's quite pretty. Everything else is really further from the main city and I don't think you can go there in horrendous traffic in such a short time.

I am Bangladeshi, and involving with tourism, the October is nice most from October to April the weather is okey but may be hot from March to April.
Don't worry about weather. Its all will be ok.
With regards,
Mong

I have a friend who goes to Dhaka often. October is the end of the rainy season and the temps are coming down. You can get lucky and it will be pleasantly hot, instead of brutally hot. She usually goes around the end of November (over the US Thanksgiving holiday), but says that Jan -March are the best months.

This may be helpful regarding things to do:
