Are you planning to go to Mymensingh? This lovely city lies along the bank of the Brahmaputra River where there is plenty of historical architecture, cultural history and stunning natural features to enjoy.
The sense of history can be found in the old zamindar palaces which mingle with the beautiful natural features of Birishiri making Mymensingh a special combination of the two. Mymensingh is also rich in handcrafted Nakshi Kantha, the melodious and mythical Mymensingh Gitika folk ballads and is famous for sweet treat Muktagacha Monda!
