Explore the best archaeological sights of Rajshahi. Start your journey in the serene temple village of Puthia and the historic Bagha Mosque. The highlight of your exploration will be Gauda, the former capital of Bengal, renowned for its impressive architectural wonders. Continue to the medieval Kusumba Mosque and the 8th-century Somapura Mahavihara at Paharpur. Experience the unique culture of a Santhal tribal village and explore the largest wholesale bazaar in northwestern Bangladesh. Your adventure culminates at Mahasthangarh, an ancient site of immense significance, providing a deep dive into the rich history and vibrant life of northwest Bangladesh.

Your adventure begins in the serene temple village of Puthia. Wander around the stunning terracotta temples of the Rajbari complex, adorned with intricate carvings. From Puthia, you will proceed to the historic Bagha Mosque, an iconic edifice that stands as a testament to the pre-Mughal architectural style. This beautiful mosque is distinguished by its remarkable brickwork, terracotta ornamentation, and an atmosphere of tranquility.

Next, you will journey to Gauda, the former capital of ancient and medieval Bengal. Split between present-day India and Bangladesh, this once-thriving city’s past grandeur and historical importance remain evident in its remaining architectural gems on the Bangladesh side of the border. While in Gauda, you’ll also see the busy activities of the current-day land port in the middle of the ancient city.

Your exploration of northwestern Bangladesh continues with a visit to the Kusumba Mosque, a medieval masterpiece crafted from black basalt stone. This stunning mosque offers a silent testament to the region’s bygone era. Not far from here is the 8th-century Somapura Mahavihara at Paharpur, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Known as one of the most important Buddhist archaeological sites globally, this place once flourished as a renowned center of learning.

The tour then takes you to a Santhal tribal village, where you’ll get a unique opportunity to engage with the local community. Witness their traditional lifestyle, and learn about their unique customs. The experience promises a rich cultural immersion that provides a deeper understanding of Bangladesh’s diverse ethnic groups.

The final stop of your adventure is at Mahasthangarh, the oldest archaeological site in Bangladesh, which dates back to the 3rd century BC. You can discover the ancient city’s ruins, visit the Mahasthangarh Museum, and admire the Gokul Medh Temple. This enlightening exploration of Mahasthangarh is a perfect conclusion to your tour, providing you with a wealth of knowledge about the rich history, lively culture, and impressive architecture of northwestern Bangladesh.
