Ramkot Buddhist Monastery
রামকোট বনাশ্রম বৌদ্ধ বিহার
An ancient forest monastery and Hindu shrine in the hills of Ramu, linked to legends of relics from the time of Ashoka.
Ramkot lies in the hills southeast of Ramu town. The forest monastery on the summit is said by local legend to date back to the time of Ashoka, and it enshrines relics of the Buddha. Beside it stands the Hindu Ramkot Tirthadham temple to Rama. Legend says Rama passed through here during his exile, making it a shared pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus. Reaching it requires climbing a forest stairway; the setting is serene and visitors are few. Entry is free, and you must remove your shoes before entering the shrine. It can be combined with other temples in Ramu on a half-day tour.
