Jangalbari Fort

Isa Khan, who led the Baro Bhuiyans against Mughal expansion in the late 16th century, held a fortified base at Jangalbari in Karimganj upazila. Today you can see parts of the moat and earthen walls, a small mosque and the house of his descendants. It is a modest site, but the history attached to it is significant. Few visitors make the trip, so locals are often happy to show you around.

How to get there

CNG from Kishoreganj town to Karimganj and on to Jangalbari, about 30–40 minutes.

Good to know

Part of the site is a private home; ask before entering.
