My home district is Cumilla District in Bangladesh. Cumilla is a very big and popular city in this country. There are a lot of historical and beautiful places for tourists. Today I will share 03 important places I have visited and found as suitable for the tourists visit..


1st Place: Moynamoti Shalbon Bihar


This is a historical place of Bangladesh situated at Kotbari, Cumilla.

There is found a Bihar that means _the palace of Buddhist famous person specially pious people, where they stayed and prayed as well as it was also used as a university at that time about thousands years ago.

It was discovered by digging a hill track and then preserved by the Bangladesh government. Now it is a one of the most valuable historical place of this country.

It has both historical value and natural beauties, that's why the tourists like it for the tourism very much and a lot of study tours is occured here from different universities colleges and schools.

2nd Place: Bangladesh academy for rural development (BARD)


The second place I will recommend you to visit, it is BARD. It means Bangladesh academy for rural development.

Actually it is an autonomous institution that was established for research and training of local people specially for the farmers and weavers as well as practitioners on rural development.

The academy is worldwide popular for implementing the Cumilla Model of Akhter Hamid Khan in the 1960s. That model was internationally recognised as a model project for rural development in the developing countries.

It was open for visitors, but after a raped-murder of female student named by Tonu, than it has been a restricted area and if you want to enjoy the entire beauty of BARD, you have to take permission from the authority.

I went there with my friends and we didn't know that it is now a restricted areas. After going there, I called my friend who has some relation with the director of this institution and he managed a permission for hours.
