| The
greater Mymensingh district stretches from the
plains north of Dhaka to the Garo foothills that
edge the northern border with India. Along the
frontier line many tribes such as Garos, Hajongs
and Kochis who are ethnically quite distinct from
the people around them. Mymensingh has earned
an important position in Bangla literature for
its rich folklores and folk songs. On the road
from Dhaka to Mymensingh there is a national park
and game sanctuary at Madhupur about 160 km. from
Dhaka. There are a number of reserve forests in
the area with rest-houses and picnic spots. The
famous painter Zainul Abedins Art Gallery at Mymensingh
town is worth visiting.
