The medieval Buddhist monasteries of Mainamati, near Kotbari are an attraction for those interested.
In addition, the district is known for its cemetery for fallen from the Second World War.

As some soldiers of the British troops who fell during the confrontation with the Imperial Japanese Army, were buried in the cemetery, the British government financed him even further.
