Kishoreganj District

Kishoreganj is an administrative district in central Bangladesh covering approximately 2731 square kilometers and bordered by six neighboring districts. The region is crossed by two major rivers and contains four municipalities along with numerous villages and administrative subdivisions.

The area was established as an administrative subdivision in 1860 and gained independent district status in 1984 after separating from Mymensingh. This division marked a key step in reorganizing the region's administrative boundaries.

People here gather for religious and community festivals like Kurikhai Mela, which bring villages together throughout the year. These events shape daily rhythms and show how traditional practices remain central to local life.

The district is well-connected through road networks and river routes, offering multiple entry points for visitors. The best time to explore is outside the monsoon season when roads and waterways are more accessible.

Archaeological findings in Egarosindur village show evidence of trade connections dating back about 2500 years. These discoveries reveal that the region has been a crossroads for long-distance exchange throughout history.
