Singra National Park, National park in northeastern Bangladesh.
Singra National Park is a protected sal forest in Dinajpur District, northern Bangladesh, covering 355 hectares, of which 305.69 hectares form the national park. It spans four mouzas—Dalagram, Chaulia, Singra and Nartnadi—and the Nart River flows through its middle. The forest is dominated by deciduous sal trees, with jarul, shirish, simul, teak and other species.
Singra forest was annexed in 1885, and after Bangladesh's independence a gazette placed it under the Forest Department in 1974. On 10 October 2010 the department declared it a national park along with three other forest areas in the north. It takes its name from Singra mouza.
The park takes its name from Singra mouza, one of the four mouzas it spans. A co-management committee formed with local elected representatives, with support from RDRS Bangladesh, works on conserving the biodiversity of the Singra Shalbon. Visitors can see this community involvement in the management of the sal forest.
Early morning is the best time to visit when birds are most active and wildlife watching is most rewarding. Guided tours help visitors understand the different habitats and their inhabitants.
The park is named after Singra mouza, one of the four mouzas (Dalagram, Chaulia, Singra and Nartnadi) it spans. The Nart River flows through its middle, and a small rest house and two picnic spots serve visitors, who come mostly in the winter season.
