Destination guide
Alibaba Theme Park
আলিবাবা থিম পার্ক
A 35-acre theme park on the sandy bank of the Teesta in Sundarganj, right beside the big Teesta solar plant — built around the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, with the whole layout spreading like a giant palm tree. Aladdin's lamp and giant lamp-pots, a treasure cave, a kids' pool with lifeguards, a mini ropeway, 3D art, and replicas of the Taj Mahal, Masjid-e-Nabawi, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Great Wall of China. After dark the 99-names calligraphy lights up in colour LEDs — the real showpiece.
History & significance
Built to turn the bare shifting sands of the Teesta bank into a self-sustaining entertainment centre; repeat visitors report a major expansion within a single year.
How to get there

From the Rangpur side many come via Pirgachha–Pautana for about ৳150 in hops; from Dhaka, ride to Pirganj and take an auto. Landmark: the Teesta solar plant beside the park.

Traveller tips
Access roads are broken in stretches — allow extra time.
The kids' pool water drew complaints — check before letting children in.
Flower-picking draws a ৳200 fine — hands off the gardens.
The boat ride and treasure cave are the skippable tickets — the regulars' verdict.
Bring an extra shirt, sunglasses and a power bank — the sun on the sand is honest and hard.
