Tourism

Lakshmipur district has got some places which can attract tourists from home and abroad. There are also some shrines (i.e. majars) of saints which are of historic and architectural importance. 

Ramgati is suitable for development as a tourist centre. The river Meghna joins the Bay of Bengal by the south side of Ramgati Bazar. The scenery is attractive. This is a fine natural sea-beach. A tourist can enjoy the scene of catching hilsha fish at Ramgati. 

While visiting Ramgati one can collect sweet-meat and curd made of the milk of buffalo. The charming scene of sun-rise and sun-set can be watched here. The attention of a tourist may be drawn to the scene of boats with multicoloured sails. This is an incomparable scene. Vast afforestation of Forest Department together with green belt of keya tree will also come under sight. In the winter season travelling by boat or launch is quite enjoyable. 

The tourist centre which is yet to be established, should be located near Ramgati Bazar so as to enable the tourists to go there by road or river. Security measures must be ensured. The tourist spots should be kept under state protection and should be made attractive. Modern Hotel, Motel & Restaurant should be built for the convenience of the tourists. Ramgati-Sonapur road should be metalled up to inter-district bus terminal. If sea-truck communication with Hatia is established, the tourists could visit Hatia island also.

There are some historical places, mosques and shrines at Lakshmipur which may be visited by the interested tourists. The shrine of great saint Hazrat Miran Shah (R) is situated in the village Kanchanpur of Lakshmipur. Another traditional institution of religious importance Shayampur Daira Sharif is situated at Ramganj for more than two hundred years. Daira Sharif of Ramgatihat attracts religious-minded people of the area. So is the case with Char Alekzander Daira Sharif also. Kamankhola Zemindar Bari of Dalal Bazar is worth visiting. The mosque of Tita Khan, 200 hundred years old, Jame masjid of Raipur (popularly known as Mosque of 'Jin'), Jame Masjid at Kanchanpur Zemindar house (feudal lord ) of 115 years old and Mandari Bazar Mosque are famous for their architectural beauty and thus attract visitors.
