Madhupur Garh or Madhupur Shalban or Madhupur Jungle is a large forested area in central Bangladesh. The Madhupur area extends from the southern part of Jamalpur district in the north to Fatulla thana of Narayanganj Sadar upazila in the south. Tangail and Gazipur districts and most areas of Dhaka city fall within this average zone. The northern part of the ghar is known as Madhupur ghar and the southern part as Bhawal ghar.
