Chapainawabganj is often called the mango capital of Bangladesh, and Shibganj upazila is its heart. In early summer the Kansat market fills with vans and baskets of mangoes, with traders arriving from all over the country. Khirsapat (Himsagar) and Langra are prized for flavour, while the large Fazli and later Ashwina extend the season. Many visitors simply wander the orchards and buy straight from growers.
