Gazipur Weather in January

January: cool, clear days

January is one of the easiest months to explore Gazipur. Afternoons reach 25°C, while mornings and evenings feel cooler, with lows around 12°C. Rain is scarce, and the days are sunny, so you can wander Bhawal National Park or visit the safari park without frequent showers interrupting your plans.

The comfortable weather suits outdoor visits and short walks. You may want to avoid long midday outings if you find the sun tiring, but the heat is milder than in February. January is drier than December, too.

Winter events and crowds

The Biswa Ijtema, a major Muslim gathering in Tongi, often takes place in January or February. Its timing varies, so expect heavy crowds and traffic near Tongi when it's on. The Dhaka–Mymensingh Highway can become especially slow around the gathering.

Travelling with kids? Choose Bhawal National Park for a relaxed outdoor day, away from Tongi's event crowds.

January falls in Gazipur's popular winter travel season, alongside December and February. You'll likely find more visitors than during the hot, rainy months, and some places to stay may charge more than in quieter periods. The Ijtema can make Tongi much busier than the rest of the month.

A useful local tip

If you're visiting Bhawal National Park, go on a weekday if you'd rather avoid local day-trippers. It's a popular green escape from Dhaka, and weekends can feel livelier. For Tongi, check the Ijtema dates before choosing your travel day; staying clear of the main gathering period can save you a slow journey.
