Kishoreganj spreads east from the Old Brahmaputra into the haor country, where low wetlands such as Nikli Haor fill with water in the monsoon. The Meghna, Kushiyara and Kalni rivers shape its east, and fishing communities depend on the haors. Heritage sites include Jangalbari Fort, the stronghold of the 16th-century chief Isa Khan, and the Mughal-period Sadi Mosque (1652). About 3.27 million people live in roughly 2,689 km² (2022 census).
