Satkhira সাতক্ষীরা
Early mangoes and the western edge of the Sundarbans
Satkhira sits in the far south-west, bordering India and the western Sundarbans. Its orchards ripen some of the country's earliest mangoes, its coastal ghers raise crab and shrimp, and Shyamnagar's Munshiganj and Burigoalini lead straight into the forest.
