A single-domed Mughal-style mosque in Betagi upazila, built in the seventeenth century by the preacher Shah Neyamat Ullah on raised ground. It is a protected monument.
A mangrove-covered char near the Bay of Bengal south of Char Fasson, protected as a wildlife sanctuary. Deer, monkeys and, in winter, plenty of birds live among the keora trees.
A planted coastal mangrove forest where the Bishkhali meets the Baleshwar in Patharghata, declared an eco park in 2011. Large herds of spotted deer, a raised walkway and lonely beaches such as Laldia lie beyond the trees.
A late-nineteenth-century zamindar house a few kilometres north-west of Jhalokati town, with a natmandir and temples. It is close to ruin but an easy stop on the way to Bhimruli.
A wooden mosque built between 1913 and 1920 in Burirchar village, Mathbaria. It was joined without nails and is covered in fine carving; it is a protected monument.
An island upazila in the Meghna estuary, separate from the main Bhola island. Broad river chars, keora forest and buffalo herds make for a quiet, uncrowded rural escape.
The remains of an old zamindar house and temples at Rayerkathi near Pirojpur town, a short trip from the centre.
A wide wetland spanning Satla in Wazirpur and Bagdha in Agailjhara that turns red with water lilies in autumn. Go out by small boat at dawn — the flowers close as the day warms.
A beach about 4.5 km long at Nolbunia in Taltali, near the meeting of the Payra, Bishkhali and Baleshwar, backed by casuarina trees. It opened as a tourist spot in 2017.
