How to get there What it costs

Seasonal warning: Year-round; winter is pleasant for the gardens.

Introduction

An Indo-Saracenic royal palace built in 1734 by Raja Doyaram, Dewan of Rani Bhabani, known for its clocktower gate with an imported Italian clock and marble statues. Declared the official government residence for northern Bangladesh in 1972, a museum opened inside in 2018. Because it still serves a state function, check which parts are open to visitors before going.

Suggested time: 1–2 hours

How to get there

On the outskirts of Natore town, a short rickshaw ride from Natore Rajbari. Buses from Rajshahi drop you in Natore, then take a CNG or rickshaw.
