Brief

Lilavumi Patharghat is also known as Kosba Uchai or Mohipur. Covering an area of 9-10km. 200 meter to the North of it there is an ancient shallow pond. During Pal period to the north of this lake christen missionaries built several buildings. Approximately 18 feet to the bottom of the river from the upland fringe Tulsiganga River paved with stone steps and the ruins of an ancient building are worth watching. It is assumed that due to creation of Tulsiganga River the high infrastructures built went below the river. 300m to the Christian Missionaries building there is a mazar and a mosque. The locals say it as the Mazar of PirKebla Nasir and Hindus say it as Nimai Pirer Dargah. There were nine ponds of Christian Missionaries on the west.

Port of Mongla is the second and most Eco friendly port in our country. The Mongla Sea Port is protected by the Sundarbans (the largest mangrove forest- declared as 'World Heritage' in 1997 by the UNESCO). It was formerly located at Chalna, about 11 miles (18 km) upstream on the Pashur River, but it is now located 48 km south of Khulna city, as established on 11 December 1954. The Port is surrounded as well as well protected by the Sundarban mangrove forest. The name Mongla originated from Mongla River presently known as Mongla Nulla. Mongla River originated from Pashur and Rampal is situated beside Pashur.

The anchorage was shifted to Mongla in 1954 as the place could accommodate sea-going vessels with greater draughts. During the Pakistan period, the administration of the port was under a port director, whose main office was at Khulna. Port of Mongla is situated at the confluence of the Pashur River and the Mongla River. It lies about 62 miles (100 km) north of the Bay of Bengal and is connected to the major inland river ports and to the rail terminal at Khulna. It is very near to Sundarbans.

Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) and Haldia in India and Mongla and Chittagong in Bangladesh are the principal seaports on the world's largest Ganges delta. The port has trade links with almost all major ports of the world, although vessels arriving here are mostly from ports of Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Europe and North America and the ships rarely come to Mongla from the countries of Latin America or Africa.
