Personal highlights
- Mahasthan Garh: one of the earliest urban archeological sites in Bangladesh
- Museum: comparably small for the archeological importance of the site
- Citadel: most visible remains, just looks like grass overground mound
- History: inhabited from the 3rd century BC until the 18th century AD!
- Impression: there is not much to see but ancient history lies in the air
