Khulna Division, Administrative division in southwestern Bangladesh
Khulna Division is an administrative region in southwestern Bangladesh. The area stretches across flat terrain with many rivers and channels running through the deltaic landscape, divided into several districts.
The region was established as an administrative division in 1960 during East Pakistan's period. It developed from earlier British colonial boundaries and took its present form following Bangladesh's independence.
The name reflects historical regional identity, and visitors can observe traditional architecture and religious structures that show the area's cultural heritage today.
Visitors reach the area via national highways, railway lines, and a regional airport with domestic and international connections. The driest months offer better traveling conditions with more reliable road access.
The southern section includes parts of the Sundarbans, one of the world's largest mangrove forests, home to Bengal tigers and rare water birds. This wetland offers an extraordinary experience for adventurers and wildlife observers alike.
