Places to visit
Nayabad Mosque
A three-domed Mughal-era mosque (12.45 m x 5.5 m) built in 1793 CE beside the Dhepa River during the reign of Shah Alam II, with octagonal corner minarets and 1.1 m thick walls. It lies close to the Kantajew Temple route, so the two are easily combined in one trip.
Ramsagar National Park
A 27.75-hectare national park at Tajpur near Dinajpur town, centred on the historic Ramsagar reservoir, about 1,079 m long, excavated in the mid-18th century by Raja Ram Nath before the Battle of Plassey. Popular in winter for migratory birds and picnics.
