Shomeswari River (সোমেশ্বরী নদী), one of the most beautiful rivers of Bangladesh, located at the Netrakona (নেত্রকোনা) District. During the Birisiri (বিরিশিরি) tour, any traveler must have to meet with this river. River is shallow during winter, but fierce during rainy season for its enormous flow.
The river is created from the streams from the Garo Hill (গারো পাহাড়) at the north of our country in India. Entered at Bangladesh through the Bijoypur (বিজয়পুর) of Netrakona. The bank of the river is a bit higher compare to others from Bangladesh.
Near to the Birishiri (বিরিশিরি) town, the river segregated into two. One is called old Shomeswari (সোমেশ্বরী নদী), which later shrunk in size. The other one (new one) later joined with river Kongsho (কংশ নদী) and keep that name Kongsho (কংশ নদী) until joined with river Shurma (সুরমা নদী).
During winter, the level of the water at Shomeswari River stays very low and anyone can cross the river by walking. During rainy season, you can hire engine boat and have some boat journey. It is recommended to visit the river during rainy season to enjoy the maximum beauty.

নেত্রকোনার বিরিশিরিতে আসলে আপনাকে অবশ্যই বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম সুন্দর এই নদীটি দেখতে হবে। শীতকালে সোমেশ্বরী নদীতে পানি কম থাকে তাই পায়ে হেটেই নদীটি পাড় হওয়া যায়। তবে, বর্ষাকালে এই নদীটির পানি অনেক বেড়ে যায় বিধায় নৌকা ছাড়া নদীটি পাড় হওয়া অসম্ভব। পানিতে পরিপূর্ণ এই নদীটির সৌন্দর্য উপভোগ করতে বর্ষাকালই এখানে আসার সবচেয়ে ভাল সময়। ভারতের গারো পাহাড় থেকে উৎপত্তি হয়ে সোমেশ্বরী নদীটি নেত্রকোনার বিজয়পুর দিয়ে বাংলাদেশে প্রবেশ করেছে। দেশের অন্যান্য নদীর তুলনায় এই নদীর পাড় খানিকটা উঁচু।
বিরিশিরির কাছে সোমেশ্বরী নদীটি দু ভাগ হয়েছে। একটি ভাগের নাম পুরাতন সোমেশ্বরী যেটি পরবর্তীতে সংকীর্ণ হয়ে গিয়েছে। অপর অংশটি কংশ নদীর সাথে মিলিত হয়ে কংশ নামধারন করে সুরমা নদীর সাথে মিলিত হয়েছে।

Comilla has two predominant rivers. One is Meghna River, and another one is Gomti River (গোমতি নদী). If you visit the river Gomti (গোমতি নদী) in the dry season, you may see that the water level of the river is too low. However, the flow of the river isn't less at all. You can experience the mighty flow of the river during the swim.

Karatoya River (also spelt Korotoa) (Bengali:
করতোয়া নদী), a small stream in Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh, was once a large and sacred river. A channel of it presently flows by the ancient ruins of Mahasthangarh (or Pundranagara, ancient capital of Pundravardhana) in Bogra District. The
Karatoya mahatmya bears testimony to its past greatness. In the
Mahabharata it is mentioned that a visit to the Karatoya after three days’ fast produces the same merit as an aswamedha (horse killing) sacrifice. Another ancient city, Sravasti, may have been located on the banks of the Karatoya, north of Mahasthangarh. However, there is a controversy about the possible location of Sravasti.
The Karatoya, known as Phuljhur rises in the Baikunthapur jungles in the extreme north-west of Jalpaiguri district (West Bengal, India) and forms for some distance the boundary between Dinajpur and Rangpur districts. It, then, meanders through Rangpur and Bogra. In the south of Bogra district, it receives the Halhalia and the united stream is then known as Phuljhur. It leaves Bogra at Chanda kona and flowing in a southerly direction past Raiganj and Shujapur is, as already mentioned, joined by lchhamati at Nalka. The Phuljhur then flows south past the important village of Ullapara, a few miles below which it joins the Hurasagar at Narnia after a course of about 64 kilometres (40 mi) in this district. After this junction, it takes the name of Hurasagar and passing close by Shazadpur and Hera joins the Jamuna near Bera.
The Karatoya is mentioned in the Puranas and had a high repute for sanctity. It was the eastern boundary of the old kingdom of Paundravardhana, the country of the Paundras which it separated from Kamrupa. It is shown in Van Den Brouk's map of Bengal (C, 1660) as flowing into the Ganges and in fact. before the destructive floods of 1787 it brought down to the Atrai and to the Ganges a great volume of Teesta water. Since the main stream of the Teesta was dirverted to the east in 1787, the Karatoya and the Phuljhur have gradually silted up. and they are at the present day rivers of minor importance. One channel, which joins the Baral, 48 kilometres (30 mi) east of Pabna. is still called indifferently the Buri Teesta or old Teesta and the Karto or Karatoya. Traces of an old channel, for which the name of the Karatoya is claimed, are also pointed out in the Chatmohar thana, where it appears to have been obliterated by the Baral.
