Kansat Mango Market

Chapainawabganj · Village life and culture

What you can see and do

Shibganj's Kansat is where a mango market is held. The country has no bigger one. In season, from dawn, the whole area fills with bicycles, vans and baskets loaded with Khirsapat, Langra, Fazli and Ashwina mangoes. Walk through the bargaining and shouting and you will see why this district is called the mango capital.
