संपत्ति — Shapla Cottage
Shapla Cottage feels like a modest but earnest retreat from the Dhaka traffic. The lobby is plain — tiled floors, a small reception desk, a framed print of local greenery — but the staff are attentive. The real sell is the garden: a patch of quiet with benches and flowering shrubs that makes you forget you’re in a satellite town. It suits budget travellers and transit visitors who want a clean, no-fuss room with a bit of outdoor space.
Gazipur का इतिहास
Gazipur grew from a cluster of villages on the Bhairab River into a major industrial hub after Bangladesh’s independence. Textile and pharmaceutical factories drew workers from across the country, and the town sprawled rapidly. The Mughal-era fort at Bhawal National Park is a rare historic remnant. Today Gazipur is known for the Bangladesh Agricultural University campus, the sprawling Tongi bazaar, and its role as a gateway to the Sundarbans via the river route.
