Experience the iconic Khan Jahan Ali Bridge in Khulna, a vital gateway connecting the city with southern Bangladesh and offering stunning views of the Rupsha River and vibrant local culture.
The Khan Jahan Ali Bridge, also known as the Rupsha Bridge, gracefully spans the Rupsha River near Khulna, Bangladesh. More than just a crossing, it serves as the city's gateway, connecting Khulna with the southern districts and the vital Mongla seaport, playing a crucial role in the nation's economy. The 1.6-kilometer bridge features dedicated lanes for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. Visit during the cooler months from November to March for the most comfortable experience, and be sure to stay until evening to witness the city's lights reflecting on the water, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

Getting There
-
Rickshaw/Easy Bike
From Khulna city center (e.g., Picture Palace Cinema area), the most common way to reach Khan Jahan Ali Bridge is by rickshaw or 'easy bike' (electric rickshaw). The ride typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Negotiate the fare beforehand, with a typical cost ranging from 80-120 BDT. Be sure to confirm that the driver knows you want to go to 'Rupsha Bridge' or 'Khan Jahan Ali Bridge' near Jabusa.
-
Taxi/Ride-Share
Taxis and ride-sharing services (like Uber or Pathao, if available) offer a more comfortable but potentially more expensive option. A taxi ride from the city center would take approximately the same time as a rickshaw, but could cost between 200-300 BDT, depending on traffic and surge pricing. Ensure the driver is familiar with the location, as some may not know the bridge by both names.
-
Bus
Local buses also ply the route towards Rupsha. You can catch a bus from Sonadanga Bus Terminal towards Rupsha. Get off near the bridge approach. Bus fares are very economical, typically around 15-20 BDT. However, buses can be crowded and may not be the most convenient option for tourists unfamiliar with the local routes. From the bus stop, you may need to walk a short distance or take a rickshaw to reach the bridge itself.
