Major city · Bangladesh
Jaipurhatজয়পুরহাট
Skip as a destination; pass through on a Rajshahi Division road trip for a glimpse of rural Bangladesh. Half a day is enough.
Jaipurhat (also Joypurhat) is a quiet agricultural district in northern Bangladesh, known for sugarcane, jute and bananas. It has no major sights, but offers a genuine slice of village life. Most travellers use it as a transit point between Rajshahi and Bogra or Naogaon.

Rules in force · 6
- South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
- South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
- Bangladesh ↗Apply for a visa only on the official government e-visa portal or at an embassy; lookalike sites charge extra, and the rules differ by nationality.
- Bangladesh ↗Dress modestly in cities and near mosques: cover shoulders and knees, and women carry a scarf for mosques and shrines.
- Bangladesh ↗Carry Bangladeshi taka in small notes; rickshaws, markets and small shops are cash-only, and foreign cards are not accepted everywhere.
- Bangladesh ↗Political rallies, strikes (hartal) and blockades can close roads and cut mobile internet with little notice: check the news and your hotel before any transfer day and stay away from demonstrations.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
