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.

ঘাগুটিয়ার পদ্ম বিল বিজিবি ক্যাম্পের পাশেই অবস্থিত। স্থানীয়রা গ্রামের নাম ঘাগুইটটা বলেও উচ্চারণ করে থাকে। ক্যাম্পের কাছে অবস্থিত একটি ভবনে একটি নৌকা রাখা আছে। নৌকা ভ্রমন না করে আপনি এই বিলটি পুরোপুরি দেখতে পারবেন না।
মোহাম্মদ ইউনুস নামক জনৈক ব্যাক্তির পুত্র মোহাম্মদ সোহেল এই নৌকাটির মালিক এবং তাঁরা যথেষ্ট ধনী। দিন দিন বিলের পানি কমে যাওয়ায় পদ্ম ফুলের মধ্যে দিয়ে নৌকা চালানো কঠিন হয়ে পড়ছে।
বিলে পদ্ম ফুলের সংখ্যা মোটেও কম নয়। সাধারণত সকাল বেলা পদ্ম ফুলের সংখ্যা থাকে সবচেয়ে বেশি। গ্রামবাসীরা প্রচুর পদ্মফুল সংগ্রহ করে তাই আপনি চারপাশে পদ্ম ফুলের ভাঙ্গা ডাল ছড়িয়ে থাকতে দেখবেন। বিলে নৌকা ভ্রমনের সময় আপনি পদ্ম ফুল এবং পদ্ম ফল সংগ্রহ করতে পারেন। পুরো বিল বিভিন্ন ধরনের জলজ ফুলে ছেয়ে থাকে যেমনঃ পদ্ম ফুল, শালুক ফুল, চাঁদমালা ফুল।
বিলের পাশে অবস্থিত ভারতীয় সীমান্ত খুব সহজেই দেখা যায়। বিলের প্রায় ৮০ শতাংশ বাংলাদেশে থাকলেও বাকি অংশ ভারতের অংশে অবস্থিত। শুষ্ক মৌসুমে বিলের পানি পুরোপুরি শুকিয়ে যাবে এবং গ্রামবাসিরা এরপর এখানে ধান চাষ করবে। আবারো বর্ষাকালে এই বিলটি পদ্ম এবং অন্যান্য জলজ ফুলে ভরে যাবে।
