Kishorganj, Bangladesh

Capital City

With a population of just 90,690, Kishorganj is a sleepy provincial backwater, far removed from the glitz and glamour of Bangladesh's major cities. The literacy rate is a decent 72.54%, but the city is divided by the Narasundha River, suggesting a persistent bureaucratic headache for residents. Families with young children may find the high proportion of under-10s (20.09%) appealing, but overall this is a quiet, unglamorous place that offers little to attract ambitious professionals or adventurous expats.
