Tranquil Beauty of Birishiri
Birishiri is located at Shushong Durgapur Thana of the Netrokona District about 175 km north from Dhaka. It’s a wonderful place with river, garo, ceramic hills, small mountains and the green countryside.
The main attraction of Birishiri is the ceramic hill of Durgapur and the picturesque landscape along the Shomeshwari River. It’s not only blessed by the above, is also reach in ethnic culture as there are many ethnic groups like – Hajong, Garo, Achik and Mandi etc lives here.

There is also an ethnic museum at Birishiri. Birishiri is situated at the Bangladesh India border. The best way to get in here is by road. You will find direct bus to Birishiri from Mohakhali bus stand at Dhaka and it takes 5 hours to get there. The last 30 km road from Somganj to Birisiri is not well constructed. But if you take Mymenshing- Netrokona-Kalmakanda-Durgapur rout (it takes 6 hours from Dhaka) the roads are ok. Rickshw/Auto is the only transport to go around. Nearly all local roads are muddy. It is advised to visit the tourists spot in rickshaws as the pullers know all the places very well and it is not possible for a new comer to find these tourists spots by themselves.
Now a days some guest houses and hotels are available at Birisiri and Durgapur. But upto now it is not at per standard. Rates are reseanable. Fooding is also a problem in Birisiri. You will not find any standard hotel there. Still you will have a nice memories of its magnetic natural beauties when you will come back from there.
