Bashtola Shaheed Monument

Nice place indeed

Nice Place.

The most beautiful Shaheed Minar I have ever seen.nThe Shaheed Minar blossomed only on 21st February and for the rest of the day it became a place for boys to hang out and graze.nYet the beautiful Shaheed Minar always attracts patriots all year round.nCherrapunji in the back, the wettest place in the world. Cherrapunji is the closest to this place in Bangladesh, only 15 kilometers. Due to its proximity to Cherrapunji, it receives heavy rainfall all the time except winter.nI went here for Eid holidays in the rainy season two years ago. Everything becomes ponds due to rain. Just half an hour after arrival, it started to rain heavily, and it continued to rain until seven o'clock at night.nGreater Mymensingh and Sunamganj districts were under Sector 5 during the war of liberation. The bodies of 14 martyred freedom fighters are buried here.nIt is one of the most beautiful Shaheed Minar in Bangladesh due to the surrounding hills and thrilling rains, and geographical location. Behind it is a fast flowing canal, the rain water of the mountains flows through it.nNear the hill of Banshtala Memorial is a village of 36 ethnic groups called Jhumgaon.nYou can see everything as a bonusn1) Jhumgaon2) Lafarge Surma Cement Factoryn3) Rubber Dam Bridgen4) Surma river.nHow to get there:nDhaka-Sylhet-Chhatak-Banglabazar / Doarabazar-Banshtalaghat.
