Sirajganj District



Sirajganj District is one of the less touristy and exciting districts of the Rajshahi Division. A few rajbari mansions and mosques exist, however the region's greatest claim to fame is the esteemed Bangabandhu Bridge. Straddling the mighty Jamuna River (known as the Brahmaputra River upstream in India), the bridge made way for a huge economic revival of the Sirajganj town and district, as well as the nation as a whole.

Get in
The mighty Jamuna Bridge connects the district to Dhaka Division and makes it possible to reach Sirajganj from far flung places by road. Various buses travel to Sirajganj from neighbouring districts and divisions.

A single railway line serves the district, entering from Pabna District, until it terminates just north of Sirajganj city. Alternatively, you can enter via boat transport at one of the many ports along the Jamuna and Hurasagar Rivers.

Get around
The usual: buses, CNG auto-rickshaws and rickshaws.
