Visit Rangpur Division


The Rangpur Division of Bangladesh is a convenient and fascinating place to visit. It is located in the northern part of Bangladesh and borders India. The region's rich culture, heritage, and landscapes make it a unique destination for travelers looking for an exotic journey.

Within the Rangpur Division are two major attractions: Lalon Shah Shrine and Sonar Bangla Tower (Rangpur Tower). Lalon Shah Shrine is an important pilgrimage center for devotees of Sufi poet-saint Lalon Shah, known as the "Baul Saint". Located about 10km from Kushtia town, visitors can witness various musical performances at this shrine. Sonar Bangla Tower (Rangpur Tower) stands tall in the heart of Rangpur City with its iconic design symbolizing modernity and progress. It offers stunning views of the cityscape from its top floor observation deck.
