Mungpoo is a quiet hill town about 15 km from Sittong with a special place in Bengal’s heart. Rabindranath Tagore stayed here several times, and the house where he lived during his visits is now the Rabindra Bhavan museum.
What to see in Mungpoo
Visit Rabindra Bhavan to see the rooms, manuscripts and belongings linked to Tagore’s time here. Then drive through the cinchona plantations, started in British times to produce quinine, which still cover the surrounding hills.
Plan your visit
Check the museum timings before you go. Mungpoo pairs well with Latpanchar and Sittong for a full day out.
