Introducing Bogra

Bogra, a sprawling town with a small heart, serves primarily as a base from which to explore two of the country’s most famous and impressive archaeological sites – Mahasthangarh and Paharpur. The former is 10km north of town, and the breathtaking latter, 53km to the northwest. It would be an exaggeration to describe Bogra itself as attractive or exciting, but it does have a couple of little treats that make saving a morning for the town worthwhile. These include the Chandi (a boisterous central market area), an interesting rajbari (palace) and an eccentric dream zoo.
