Brief
Poddo Beel of Ghagutia is located beside the Ghagutia BGB camp. Local people pronounce the name as Ghaguitta (ঘাগুইট্টা). As you require boat to explore the beel, you might find that in the house just near the camp. The owner’s name of the boat is Mohammad Shohel.
As the water level decreases day by day, it is hard to push the boat through those dense leafs of lotus and lilies. The number of lotus flower is not few to count. Usually in the morning the flowers are being collected by the villagers. You may see the broken stalk of flowers everywhere. You can collect lot of flowers and Poddo fruits from the Beel during your ride. The whole Beel is covered with plants like Poddo, Shaluk, Chad Mala, and other aquatic flowers.
Beside the Beel, the Indian border is visible easily. In fact, 20 percent of that Beel are actually located inside India. But almost 80 percent is inside Bangladesh. In Summer, when the water dries up completely, villagers cultivate paddy there. Again in the Monsoon, the Beel gets flourished with Poddo (চাঁদ মালা) and other aquatic flowers.

Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate is located in Kamalganj Upazila of Moulvibazar District. The pleasant natural Madhobpur Lake is surrounded by small hills (Tila). Most of the hills are planted with tea trees. The bank side of the lake is full of lotuses and lilies. The color of the lilies is bluish which adorns this place with a bluish sphere. The lake is surrounded by small hills.
The lake is so wide and it’s hard to cover the whole lake with your camera. There is always heavy wind blows surround the lake that made the water of the lake looks like a river or calm sea water. You might have seen such kind of magenta and white colored lilies before. It is so beautiful, and the lily looks like a bit glowing from far. It seems that someone Photoshoped the flowers for that glowings.
{:}{:bn}মাধবপুর লেক এবং চা বাগান মৌলভীবাজার জেলার কমলগঞ্জ উপজেলায় অবস্থিত। দর্শনীয় মাধবপুর লেক বয়ে গিয়েছে ছোট পাহাড় ও টিলার মধ্য দিয়ে। লেকের চারপাশের বেশীরভাগ পাহাড় ও টিলায় চা চাষ করা হয়। এই লেকের পানি সবসময় ছেয়ে থাকে নীল ও সাদা রঙের পদ্ম ফুলে। লেকটি এতটাই চওড়া যে ক্যামেরায় পুরো লেকটিকে ধারন করা প্রায় অসম্ভব। লেকের ওপর দিয়ে প্রায় সবসময় বাতাস বয়ে চলায় লেকটিকে একটি নদী অথবা শান্ত সাগরের মত দেখায়। এই লেকের নীল ও সাদা পদ্ম ফুলগুলো বহুদূর থেকে এতটাই জ্বলজ্বল করে যেন মনে হয় পদ্মফুলগুলোর ওপর কেউ নিপুণ হাতে শিল্পকর্ম করেছে। লেক থেকে প্রায় ৫ কিলোমিটার দূরে একটি স্মৃতিস্তম্ভ রয়েছে।{:}

It is said that during the reign of kings, Jaysagar Dighi was excavated for collecting water for cattle. Historians claim that during reign of King Gopal Pal, this Dighi was excavated. Many fish farms have been established in this Dighi. This Dighi has a lease settlement with Grameen bank for 25 years. The tenure of lease is almost coming to an end. Adjacent to this Dighi there are several other Dighis. In addition to the huge reservoir, there are sufficient places to build the necessary infrastructure in place for the tourists. There are other dighis like Uday Dighi, Shaila Dighi, Dewan Pirer Mazar etc.

ইতিহাসবিদরা দাবি করেন যে রাজা গোপাল পালের শাসনকালে জয়সাগর দীঘি খনন করা হয়। এই দীঘিতে অনেক মৎস্য খামার গড়ে উঠেছে। গ্রামীণ ব্যাংককে এই দিঘীটি ২৫ বছরের জন্য লীজ দেওয়া হয়েছে যেটি প্রায় শেষ হবার পথে। অন্যান্য দীঘিগুলোর মধ্যে আছে উদয়দীঘি, শালিয়াদীঘি, দেওয়ান পীরের মাজার ইত্যাদি। এই দীঘির পাশেই আরও কয়েকটি দীঘি আছে। এছাড়াও পর্যটকদের জন্যে প্রয়োজনীয় স্থাপনা তৈরির জন্য পর্যাপ্ত জায়গাও আছে এখানে। বলা হয়ে থাকে রাজাদের শাসনকালে এই দিঘীটি গরু ছাগলকে পানি খাওয়ানোর জন্যে খনন করা হয়েছিল।

Kaptai Lake is a beautiful blue man-made watery lake. The size of this Lake is approximately 11000 square kilometer, which was created as a reservoir when the Kaptai dam was built during the 1960. This amazing Lake was created by flooding valleys and plain lands between numerous hills all around the Lake. Kaptai has Bangladesh's only hydro-electric project. The Kaptai Dam on the Karnaphuli River created for this purpose resulted in the Kaptai Lake. This created a charming view as forested hills and plateaus rise from beneath the beautiful Lake water.
A stretch of road connects the tourist spots of Rangamati and Kaptai. The road goes deep into the hill tracts and displays the natural beauty and wildlife of the district Rangamati. The government of Bangladesh run Tourism Corporation and many private operators offer Kaptai Lake Cruise Tours, which is worth of it. Other scenic spots are also accessible through the waterways. Cruising on the Kaptai Lake is an enjoyable way of observing the landscape as many great picnic spots, natural landmarks and historic monuments are accessible only by boats.
