Bogura

Known as the “Northern Gateway of Bangladesh”, Bogura (formerly Bogra) is a historic district blending ancient heritage with vibrant local life. It is often called the “land of archaeological treasures” for its rich collection of ruins, monuments, and Buddhist relics.

The crown jewel of Bogura is Mahasthangarh, one of the earliest urban archaeological sites in Bangladesh, dating back to the 3rd century BC. Visitors can explore the fortified city ruins, ancient temples, and the Mahasthangarh Museum, which showcases artifacts of Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim civilizations.

Beyond history, Bogura is known for its traditional sweets, especially Bogurar Doi (yogurt), a delicacy loved across the country. Bustling bazaars, serene rural landscapes, and warm hospitality make Bogura a unique stop for travelers exploring northern Bangladesh.
