Bagerhat is home to one of Bangladesh’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the historic Mosque City, built in the 15th century by the Sufi saint Khan Jahan Ali. Red-brick domes, centuries-old mosques, and a landscape dotted with ponds and tombs make it a rewarding stop for anyone interested in South Asia’s Islamic architectural history. Bagerhat pairs naturally with a Sundarban or Khulna trip — the easiest way to see it properly is with your transport and local guide arranged as part of one plan.
