The complex has well-organized space. There is a museum where tourist can see the popular and rare photographs of Sheikh Mujib's life. There's also a small library in the museum. The complex contains a small shop and a large cafeteria for hungry visitors. In a far corner, there's a small open stage which signifies the countless number of times Sheikh Mujib stood up and gave powerful, resonating speeches to his fellow Bengalis.IMG_20171107_143750.jpg

 

A 200 metre-long straight walkway connects the museum with the graveyard. There's a small pond and a park to the either side of the walkway. There is also lying the grave of Sheikh Mujib's parent Sheikh Lutfar Rahman and Sayera Khatun next to each other.

How to go: To visit the Mausoleum of Bongobondhu, it is not that much comfortable. You have to use several poor local bus services on our way. Local bus of Narail isn’t that much comprehensive, but it is awesome at Gopalganj. The highway is smooth and wide enough, and has lot of spaces, even inside the local bus either. From Gopalganj, to visit this place, you need to go to Tungipara.
