Bagerhat

Mosque city of Khan Jahan and gateway to the eastern Sundarbans

Bagerhat holds two UNESCO World Heritage Sites at once: the 15th-century mosque city built by Khan Jahan Ali and a large slice of the Sundarbans. Mongla port, Karamjal and the cruise routes to Kotka and Kochikhali all fall within the district, so it suits both history lovers and wildlife seekers.

Bagerhat is famous for

Sixty Dome Mosque Shrine of Khan Jahan Ali Sundarbans (Karamjal, Kotka, Kochikhali) Mongla port Shrimp and coconut
