Shalbon Bihar in Cumilla is a very important archeological place in Bangladesh. It was built between 7th and 8th century. There are 115 sansas rooms around,and a big temple in the middle of the monastery.

An ancient place where you can spend some quality time taking pictures and roaming around. This is an excellent site to give visitors a glimpse of the glorious past of the Buddhist civilization in this part of the world. I wish the place were less crowded, though.

Have some wonderful time with my people. The weather was heavenly. I think that was the reason we enjoyed it so much. Not so much enjoyable in the sun. But if you like historical place.... This place is Faraz for you.

One of the most historical and ancient place of Bangladesh. Those who have interest in History or historical place can spend a very good time here. Morning and evening time is best for visit, but maybe you have to face a lot of crowd here at public holiday. So it’s better to avoid holiday. It's very easy to go there. You have to reach "Kotbari, Cumilla" first and then can go there within 30/40 minute by a CNG or Taxi. You have to bye a ticket to enter into the Bihar.

This place is so beutifull and lovely. I have enjoy very much. I proud for this.

Yeah Shalbon Vihar is closed to Mainamati Ancient Buddhist Historical Sites. You can cover all sites if come visit Cumila Mainamati Ancient Buddhist Historical Sites. This tourist attractions site existing in the Cumila on the way of Dhaka to Chittagong. You can contact me if want visit there.

One of the beautiful and big historical place in Bangladesh.when you want visit the place it will be good if you take 🏖️☔ because there are places always sunny ☀️ and Hot 🔥 thanks for visit my country Bangladesh .this is special for Budda.....

This is a nice ancient archaeological place to visit. At first you need to buy a ticket to visit inside. There are Buddhist monk, Lalmai hill ridge and more things to see. It operated through the 12th century.

It is a most historical & beautiful place in Comilla. I visit many times here. This monastery built by Sri. Bhava Dev 8th Century A.D. So it's real name ''Bhava Deb Maha Viher''.

Historical place alongwith a very neat and clean greenery area, full of colorful flowers in the gardens, will blow your mind definitely!

At the beginning you will find a museum where you will get to see the crafts found there when this place was discovered. Then you would find the plains which is the main place of attraction. After that at the end of the road you may find the new temple. This place was altogether but now the authorities charge two times to enter into the facility that disheartened me. Though it does not cost much for one person but it did not seemed fair from my point of view. Moreover, you may find local stores selling various products outside. Do bargain for each good you buy. They are not that expensive. Also, you can try the street foods carefully.

Great historical place to visit .It situated to comilla and takes 2 hours from dhaka.for 1 day visit it is a very good option. Shalban Bihar is a famous archeological evident of the Buddhist reign in Bangladesh. This is actually a place of learning and meditation for the Buddhist students. Shalban bihar is lied almost in the middle of the Lalmai and Moynamoti area. It was established in the 8th century by king Buddadev.

It is the heritage of Bangladesh.The best tourist spots in comilla. Since from 7th century it's stand with the heritage of Buddhist temple.If you came here you can feel the history.

A perfect place for photography. Which covers the history of Cumilla a period of about seven hundred years from 6th to 12th century A.D. The architecture is quite similar throughout the Shalbon Bihara. # Suggestions: If you want to visit Shalbon Bihara then don't miss the Rupsagor Park which is so close.

A heritage site of Bangladesh holding the long before culture and heritage of Buddhist Monks and Kings. Can visit the place anytime and still you can enjoy the beauty of this heritages.

An archaeological site at Moynamoti in Kotbari, Bangladesh. Visiting such a historical place is not only about leisure or entertainment, it's also about to show our kids & future generations the archaeological sites of the motherland.

A great place for a short day tour. Take a bus, reach cumilla and then hire an auto and make the tour as simple as that.Better for winter or spring tour

A historical place . by visiting this place you can get knowledge of history of past. the place is very nice and calm and enjoyable.

Important part in history,,,, only structure and garden existing now.... Avoid vist in noon time..... Sun hitting badly, keep wear cap n glass

Masa-Allah, such a wonderful natural historical place of Bangladesh inside Cumilla. Fantastic environment & well transport facilities. Well with family, friends for outing, picnic,refreshing 🇧🇩💛🌹

Shalban Bihar is an archaeological site in Moinamoti, Comilla, Bangladesh. The ruins are in the middle of the Lalmai hills ridge, and these are of a 7th-century Paharpur-style Buddhist Bihar with 115 cells for monks. It operated through the 12th century. How to get there: The distance by road from Dhaka to Comilla is only 2 hours and 30 minutes. Royal Coach, Tisha and Asia Line are ahead in terms of bus service. You can ride any one on the way to Comilla. Prince Saudia bus will be good for those who want to come from Chittagong. However, the interesting thing is that it takes less time by train than by bus from Chittagong to Comilla, only 3 hours and 30 minutes. The bus takes 4 hours and 30 minutes. Come to Comilla and leave at Thomson Bridge bus stand. You will find a CNG stand there. If you go locally, it will cost 20 Tk and if you want to go to the reserve, maximum 150 Tk. You will be dropped off at Kotbari with CNG. From there you have to go to Shalban Vihar by auto rickshaw. The rent will be 10 Tk.

One of the best tourists place.....

Nice antic area. Neat and clean.

This is an historical place which is situated behind Comilla Bard, People come here to know about this place history. Some step should be taken by authority for saving history

I often goes there. It’s a place to be relax for me. I love this place. This place is a historical place with a lots of things to know. You’ll love this place .

Nice place to visit. One thing I don't like that they charge entry ticket in every place which cost average 30TK per person. And better to visit in winter season.

This is a recreational place and I think worth seeing one.

If you ever plan to travel Cumilla, It's a must visit place. The history of Shalban bihar is quite big even though it's hard to describe the actual history of Shalban Bihar cause there are two or three stories that have been described by locals. But except for the history, it is a must visit place. This is more like a park than a historical place as people have fewer intentions to respect or learn about this place and the authority can't afford to provide any depth information on this place. I tried to learn about this and another vihara nearby, but no one has given me in-depth info, like how this place was built, how the life of a saint or the locals was, and why there are so many viharas in this area and so many questions. The museum told me to contact their main archeological office in Dhaka, The Cumilla library couldn't give me anything on this topic, agh. It's like a whole mess.

Nice historical place to spend one evening. Beside Shalban Bihar, there is a museum called “Maynamoti Museum”. There you can see many statue, terracotta, daily household items from 8th to 9th century.

It is pretty old ancient historical place.I really enjoy the place.

It’s an amazing place for enjoying vacation time and more or less It's a historical place.Don’t forget to visit.

Very nice & well decorated place also nice for family time pass

It is beautiful place i've ever been to...situating next to cumilla University, may be it will add a more value to cumilla University with its beauty,heart touching scenario & overwhelming greeness❤️❤️...we have read this at cls 4 or 5's text book...so,it makes us nostalgic.May it is very educative fot the child about history of our country.. So,Have a test of it

For Single day tour this place is perfect

Moynamoti Shalbon Bihar is a beautiful and historic place, but some tourists are not respecting the site or the surrounding environment. Please do not litter or venture into the forest outside of the main complex. Moynamoti is a beautiful and historic place, and we should all help to preserve it for future generations.

Best place to enjoy beautiful Buddhist temple

All good. Well maintained. Clean environment. Ticket price 20Tk. Shop's outside the Vihar should be avoided. Need description board all buildings so that history can be known. Unmarried couples should maintain 2 mtr distance between them. Keep in mind children are watching you.

This Buddhist Monastery is a perfect place for a tour. The beauty of this place will give you awesome feelings.

One of the most visited place in cumilla district. From Dhaka you can ride on Asia Transport and get down in kutbari bishwaroad . Bus fare BDT 200 per person. Take a CNG or Auto-rickshaw to go to shalbom bihar. Per person BDT 20 only or you can reserve for BDT 100. After reaching you have take entry ticket for BDT 20 per person , go in roam around took pictures. Do not through water bottle or chips packet here and there. There are lots of dustbin installed inside shalbon bihar for your need. Biriyani doesn't test much good in the street hotel infront of entry gate.

Very nice

The place is well maintained. However, people visiting the place do not wear masks.

It's a great place for me with lots of childhood memories, for me it's a best place for a day out with family and friends with a bit of historical knowledge, but as per today 02/01/2021there is no women's toilet facilities (the place indicates মহিলা টয়লেট had a big lock on it) gave me a hard time. I hope authority will take necessary action quickly.

Beauty of nature!

This is very nice place in Comilla

1200 years ago the King Bhava Deva, the fourth ruler of the Early-Deva dynasty built that place on 168 square meters of ground. It was the royal palace for the early Buddhist students. This site, previously called Shalban Rajar Bari, came out after archaeological excavation as a Buddhist monastery and hence termed as Salban vihara from the terracotta seals and copper plates discovered. Its original name is supposed to have been Bhava Deva Mahavihara after the 4th king of the early Deva dynasty which ruled this region from the mid-7th to mid-8th centuries AD. It was built in or on the outskirts of Devaparvata, the capital bordering the Lalambi forest.

Nice buddhist temple

not good

An ancient place where you can spend some quality time taking pictures and roaming around. This is an excellent site to give visitors a glimpse of the glorious past of the Buddhist civilization in this part of the world. I wish the place were less crowded, though.
