About
The Baliadi family, who trace their line to the Siddiqui lineage, ran an estate of many mouzas from here. The house and its grounds are counted among the district's archaeological buildings and have been repaired in recent years.
It makes a calm stop on a drive through western Gazipur, away from the highway crowds. Parts are still a family property, so stay in the open areas.
Getting there: Bus from Chandra towards Tangail to Kaliakair, then a CNG to Baliadi.
Things to do
- See the entrance gate and the old mosque beside the house.
Good to know
- Respect the family's privacy; parts of the house are lived in.
