Gour Gobinda Fort

The Gour Gobinda Fort, Sylhet one of the earliest remains reflecting the rich history of the country of Bangladesh. The Gour Gobinda Fort, Sylhet though in ruins is one of the preferred tourist destinations in and around the hillside town of Sylhet. The Gour Gobinda Fort stands as the testimony to the resistance put up by the brave soldiers of the king Gour Gobinda. The global travelers simply love to spend some quality time in touring the various places of interest lying in close proximity to the scenic valley of Sylhet and its lush green verdure.


The travelers coming here from far and wide do not find it difficult to locate the Gour Gobinda Fort in Sylhet. One of the landmark points in close vicinity of the Gour Gobinda Fort is the Murarichand Government College which placed strategically on the top of a stunning hilltop. This fort stands on the northwestern direction of the college.


The great saint Hazrat Jalal who had come over from Delhi to preach Islam in Sylhet had put up a good fight and defeated the king Gour Gobinda who was not much in favor of the religion. So what we see today is just the site of the Great War which was held at that time!
