One of the most well-known districts in Rajshahi Division is Pabna. Presently known for the Rooppur Nuclear Powerplant, Pabna district is historical, beautiful and easily accessible, making it a great place to visit. If you have a small vacation, Pabna could be your next destination for a quick gateway.

There are regular trains available from Dhaka. Any train of Khulna or Rajshahi route will take you to Pabna. It is recommended that you align at Ishwardi station rather than Chatmohar. Buses are also available from Gabtoli or Kallyanpur. These buses will mostly go over the Bangabandhu Bridge but one might also use alternative routes such as Aricha or Paturia ghat.

More than a hundred years old, Hardinge Bridge is a magnificent piece of architectural wonder that still stands proud and plays hosts to trains passing over it multiple times a day.  The truss bridge is adjacent to Paksey (Ishwardi) railway station which is elevated from the ground to the bridge's height along with the railroads.
