RJH is the airport code for Rajshahi, a city in northwestern Bangladesh on the banks of the Padma River, served by Shah Makhdum Airport. Rajshahi is widely known by two nicknames: the Silk City, for a silk-weaving industry that made it famous from the 18th century under Dutch and later British trade, producing the prized Rajshahi silk sarees; and the Mango City, for the vast orchards around it that yield celebrated varieties such as Langra, Gopalbhog and Fazli in summer. It is also a green, relatively calm university city with a strong heritage: the Varendra Research Museum is one of the oldest in South Asia, and the nearby Puthia temple complex is admired for its ornate terracotta Hindu temples. Rajshahi is reached by domestic flights from Dhaka and by road and rail. The climate is warm, with a hot summer, a monsoon season and a mild winter.
