Haripur(Upazila)

Haripur is a tranquil settlement located at the extreme western edge of Thakurgaon district, bordering India.

Nestled along the banks of the Nagar River, this upazila feels like a secluded classroom of nature.

Its vast, horizon-stretching crop fields and rural dirt paths spread a sense of profound serenity.

Standing at the heart of Haripur, the historic ‘Haripur Rajbari’ remains a silent witness to time; its dilapidated walls and intricate architectural style transport visitors back to the aristocratic past of the Zamindar era.

Furthermore, the natural scenery along the banks of the Nagar River and the unique charm this riverine region takes on during the monsoon season leave a lasting impression on travelers.

This traditional settlement is primarily agrarian.

The crops produced in its fertile soil play a significant role in the local economy.

The simple lifestyle and hospitality of the people of Haripur captivate tourists.

Recently, there has been much discussion regarding infrastructural development and the potential for border tourism in this region, which is giving the area a new identity.

Locally, Haripur is acclaimed for its special mango and litchi orchards.

Among the notable figures of this region are brave freedom fighters and distinguished individuals who have brought honor to Haripur through their contributions to various fields of the country.

Thus, this secluded upazila is a wonderful blend of history, tradition, and nature.
