Bijoypur

       

District  :   Netrokona
Upazila  :   Durgapur

There is a place called Bijapur in the foothills of Garo Hills in the border area of Durgapur upazila, about 8 kilometers from Durgapur upazila headquarters of Netrokona district. Meghalaya state of India is located on the other side of this place. The Sumeshwari river originating from Meghalaya hills is passing along this Bijoypur. China clay or white soil, which is used as an ingredient in the preparation of porcelain utensils, is mainly collected from the Vijayanpur. This area is famous for China Clay. The surface of this white clay is like a pinkish color to look at the water. Which attract tourists specially. It is one of the largest mineral resources of Bangladesh's mineral resources. Here you can see several small-large mountains. The mountains of different colors are one of the attractions of tourists. The mountains are pink, white, gray, blue and various colors. These are genuinely created. It seems as if a painter has painted the hills with his hands. Since 1957 white soil is being collected from here. In 1960, Kohinoor's Aluminum Works started to collect white soil from here. Later, several companies, including the BCIC, have been collecting simple documents from here. However, this place is known locally as Kohinoor Hill.

        

To see the pictures of this colorful hill, you will have to cross the Someshwari river from Durgapur upazila of Netrokona district and then go to the place with a motorcycle.
