Introducing Jessore

Standing close to the bold and brash gates of India, many travellers arriving from Kolkata bring with them a haughty notion that Bangladesh will be little more than India’s vaguely entertaining side-kick. But give them two hours and such silly notions are utterly shattered – and the amazing thing about this transformation is that Jessore, like many Bangladeshi towns, has no real tourist sights. Rather, its attractions are all in the exotic and chaotic atmosphere and in the web of narrow winding backstreets overcrowded with possible adventures.

There’s a Cybercafé (High Court Rd) at the western end of town, but no ATM.
