Brief

It is located in the main town of Madaripur District. Most of the major districts are established around a river. Madaripur is not alike from those. This simple but beautiful district is found around the river “Arial Khan”. Both of the banks are slapped by the almost overflowing water from the river. This river meandered the district all around and where ever you visit the district, you’ll find the river or a branch of the river.

“Arial Khan” is originated from the River Padma, and flowed through several southern districts from Bangladesh.
