As the third-largest country in South Asia, Bangladesh is a treasure trove of cultural and historical treasures. Yet despite its size, few people outside of the region have heard of it. In this post we’ll explore some of the nation’s most notable sights and explain why they should be on every traveler’s bucket list.

Lalon Fakir Temple

Paharpur Lahri Archaeological Site
Paharpur Lahri Archaeological Site is located in the district of Naogaon in Bangladesh.

The site is spread over an area of 2.6 square kilometers and has been declared as a protected monument by the Department of Archaeology under Ministry of Cultural Affairs since 1969.

The remains here date back to the Pala period (750-1174 AD), when Buddhism flourished in Bengal and Bihar regions during this time period. It’s believed that Paharpur was established as an important Buddhist monastery during this time period because it houses more than 100 monasteries that were built using bricks instead of mud or wood like most other temples from this era usually did – making them stronger than most other structures built before them!
