The only surviving forest in Mymensingh is the Santoshpur forest. Wherever you go, you can easily see wildlife. The monkeys in particular are very friendly. That is why a lot of tourists come every day. Due to lack of knowledge of the policy, tourists behave in a way that is harmful to the forest and wildlife. That's why our volunteer team has set up two long-lasting billboards with policies for tourists. We hope that the incoming tourists will abide by the policy.
