Ramsagar (Bengali: রামসাগর), located in the village Tejpur in Dinajpur District, is the largest man made water-tank in Bangladesh[1]. It is situated about 8 kilometers south of the Dinajpur town.

The lake is about 1,079 meters wide from North to South, and 192.6 meters long from East to West. It was created in the mid 1750s, funded by Raja Ram Nath, after whom the lake is named. The excavation cost 30,000 taka at that time, and about 1.5 million labourers took part in the project. [1]

  • We, a group of eight members ,have visited Ramsagar very recently. We only regret our inability to take a full view of it to show our friends the enormity of the man made lake. And we think our tourism department should come forward to attract more tourists to earn some revenue for the country
