Perched on a hilltop about three kilometres north of town, in a village called Bala Gata, is the large glowing Dhatu Jadi, also known as the Golden Temple (shorna mondir) because of its beautiful golden stupa. The monastery complex, Arakanese in style, was only built in 2000, but visiting it is a Burmese blast through and through, and the stupa is one of the most impressive in the country. The complex also houses the second-largest Buddha in Bangladesh. It’s a one-hour uphill walk from Sangu Bridge, or Tk 150 in a CNG.
