Khulna, Port city in southwestern Bangladesh

Khulna extends along the Bhairab and Rupsha rivers, featuring industrial zones, shipyards, and commercial districts across its flat alluvial landscape.

The city transformed from a small trading post into a major commercial center after receiving municipal status in 1884 and developing railway connections.

The population of 884,445 residents maintains traditional celebrations like Nabanna festival, which marks the annual harvest season with community gatherings.

Transportation within the city relies on a network of buses, auto-rickshaws, and cycle rickshaws, connecting to the N7 highway for regional travel.

The proximity to Sundarbans National Park positions Khulna as an entry point to the largest mangrove forest, home to Bengal tigers.
