Panchagarh(District)

Panchagarh, surrounded by the chilly northern breeze and the serenity of the Himalayan foothills, is a generous gift of nature.

Located at the extreme north of Bangladesh, the district is traversed by the Karatoya River.

Geographically, it is a border region adjacent to India, where, on a clear day, the snow-white peaks of Kanchenjunga can be seen.

Panchagarh Sadar Upazila is the heart of this district, unique for its flat tea gardens and vast crop fields.

Many locals refer to it as the 'Gateway to the North.'

In the heart of the city lie landmarks like the historic Panchagarh Government Auditorium and the Circuit House, while the Zero Point and main markets remain bustling with activity.

When it comes to tourist attractions, the historic Bhitargarh fort city, a vast repository of archaeological heritage, stands out.

Additionally, the local tea gardens have opened up new horizons for tourism.

The soil of this region, enriched by the memories of the immortal litterateur and essayist Dr.

Muhammad Shahidullah, has always been fertile for the pursuit of knowledge.

Currently, the influx of tourists during winter to catch a glimpse of Kanchenjunga has elevated Panchagarh to a new height on the country's tourism map.
