Thakurgaon, Rangpur

If you want a taste of the cultural diversity of Bangladesh, taking a tour through the Thakurgaon should be a priority. Known for its historical architecture and rich culture, Thakurgaon District is an administrative area of the Rangpur Division. It is bounded by the Panchagarh and Dinajpur districts of Bangladesh in the north and east, while West Bengal of India bounds it by both south and west.

Thakurgaon has a land area of 1,809.52 square kilometers and a population of 15,33,894. Other than Muslims and Hindus as majorities, the district's population also includes people of various minority communities, such as Santal, Koch, Onrao, Munda, Malo, Hari, and more. This is why people living or visiting Thakurgaon can explore many cultural programs throughout the year. You can still witness gatherings for story-telling, bhawaiya songs, palagan, and more traditions.

The main rivers in Thakurgaon are Tangon, Bhuli, Nagar, etc. Unfortunately, most of the rivers and canals of the area have been drying up day by day. However, you can still enjoy the Tangon River view sites and the orange and tangerine gardens located nearby.

The economy of the district is largely dependent on agriculture. Lately, Thakurgaon has been thriving in its agricultural productivity. Other than rice, wheat, seasonal fruits, and vegetables, the land is equally important for the poultry business and producing sugarcane. In fact, the Thakurgaon Sugar Mills is a notable location in the area. Since road and train communication connects the district to all other parts of Bangladesh, trade and businesses benefit greatly from this.

Living in Thakurgaon also comes with advantages. The Sadar area offers comparatively better living facilities with access to broader amenities, whether education, healthcare, recreation, and outings. House rents are also very affordable, attracting many people to move to the city area. However, with the development of roads and other necessities day by day all over the district, many people are choosing to settle in the rural parts.

In Thakurgaon, there are also many popular tourist sites and historical landmarks. The most popular ones are Balia Masjid, Jamalpur Jamidar Bari, Haripur Rajbari and ancient mango tree, Khuniya Dighi, Balaka Park, Thakurgaon DC Tourist Park, etc.
