Singra National Park is a protected forest located in the northern region of Bangladesh, within the Dinajpur district.[1] Locally, it is known as Singra Sal Forest. The park is situated in Bhognagar Union, about 40 km north of Dinajpur town by road, and 15 km from Birganj Upazila. The total forest area is 355 hectares, with 305.69 hectares designated as the national park (for conservation). Singra National Park spans across four administrative villages: Dalagram, Chaulia, Singra, and Nortnadi. On 10 October 2010, the Forest Department declared it a national park to promote environmental development, wildlife conservation, and tourism.[2][3][4]
The Nort River flows through the middle of Singra National Park. For tourists, a small rest house and two picnic spots are available. During winter, the number of visitors increases significantly. To conserve the biodiversity of Singra Sal Forest, a co-management committee—made up of local representatives and supported by RDRS Bangladesh—is actively working here.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
