Introduction

Historical accounts record that Prince Shah Shuja built two forts at Shujabad in Nalchity in 1654 to counter Magh and Portuguese piracy. This is not a developed tourist site - reliable detail on surviving remains is scarce; consider it a side stop for history enthusiasts on a Jhalokati trip and check its current state locally.

Suggested time: Under 1 hour

How to get there

From Jhalokati town, take local transport toward Nalchity to the Shujabad area; reach Jhalokati from Barishal by launch or bus. Ask locally for the exact access point.
