The blue water lake of Birisiri (বিরিশিরি) is located at the Kulagora Upazila (কুলাগরা উপজেলা) of Durgapur Thana (দুর্গাপুর থানা) from Netrakona district (নেত্রকোনা জেলা). People call this lake as China Matir Lake, China Clay Lake (চিনা মাটির লেক), Limestone Lake, Neel Pukur (নীল পুকুর), etc. Main attraction of the lake is the water which having blue color in winter.
This is a small lake, you can say this is a pond as well. Normally the water from a pond used to be muddy, or greenish during winter. But this one is having blue color just because the china clay. This blue pond is generated after digging out china clay. According to the local people, the depth of the small pond is somewhere around 60-80 feet.
China clay comprises of lot of chemical compounds. The taste of the water is kind of bitter. May be the lake water has plenty of copper sulphet which can make the water color blue.
During your way to the blue lake, you'll be enthralled by the picturesque view of the village and the beautiful shomeswari river (সমেস্বারী নদী). The ride was so exciting that anyone would love to do that again.
If you are a good swimmer, and confident enough over your ability, you can bring shorts to cool your body from the lake. I am sorry but there is no space for non-swimmer to take chance.
Possibly this is the only clay lake having blue water from Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ). Mymensingh (ময়মনসিংহ) has one, but that one is not that much beautiful like this one. So don't make the place messy by dropping your crumbs around (or inside) the lake.

বিরিসিরির নীল পানির লেকটিকে স্থানীয়রা চিনামাটির লেক, চুনাপাথরের লেক, নীল পুকুর প্রভৃতি নামে সম্বোধন করে থাকে। শীতকালে এই লেকের নীল পানি হল সবচেয়ে বড় আকর্ষণ।ছোট এই লেকটিকে আপনি পুকুরও বলতে পারেন। সাধারণত শীতকালে পুকুরের পানি কাদাটে সবুজ রঙের হয়ে থাকে। কিন্তু এই লেকের পানি চিনামাটির জন্য নীল রঙ ধারন করে। চিনা মাটি খনন করার পর পুকুরের পানি নীল রঙ ধারন করে। স্থানীয়দের মতে পুকুরটির গভীরতা প্রায় ৬০ ফুট থেকে ৮০ ফুট।
চিনামাটিতে বিভিন্ন রকমের রাসায়নিক পদার্থ থাকে। এই পুকুরের পানির স্বাদ তেতো। সম্ভবত প্রচুর পরিমানে কপার সালফেট থাকার কারনে এখানকার পানি নীল রঙ ধারন করেছে।
নীল এই লেকটিতে যাওয়ার পথে আশেপাশের ছবির মত দৃশ্যের পাশাপাশি সমেশ্বরী নদীর অপার সৌন্দর্যে আপনি বিমোহিত হবেন। পুরো যাত্রাপথটি এতটাই আনন্দদায়ক যে আপনার বারবার যেতে মন চাইবে। আপনি যদি একজন আত্মবিশ্বাসী সাঁতারু হয়ে থাকেন তবে লেকের পানিতে শরীরকে ঠাণ্ডা করতে সাথে করে শর্টস আনতে পারেন। তবে সাঁতার না জানলে ভুলেও লেকের পানিতে নামবেন না।
সম্ভবত এটি বাংলাদেশের একমাত্র নীল পানির চিনামাটির লেক। ময়মনসিংহে আরো একটি চিনা মাটির লেক থাকলেও সেটি এই লেকের মত এত সুন্দর নয়। তাই কোনকিছু ফেলে লেকের পানিকে দুষিত করবেন না।

[post_content] => After enjoying the second step/lower falls of bewitching Toiduchara Waterfall (তৈদুছড়ি ঝরনা), you can pass through an adventurous cliff and reach at the first step/upper falls of the Toiduchara Waterfall. This is known as Toiduchhori Jhorna-2 (তৈদুছড়ি ঝরনা-২) to us, and Kasing Jhorna (কাসিং ঝরনা) to the local Tripura (ত্রিপুরা) tribe.
The height of this waterfall is slight bigger than the previous one. But to my judgement, previous one was more delicate than this one. Water of this Kasing Jhorna falls over a 'stair like' place beneath the waterfall and splashs all around. It was over 4:00 at the afternoon when we were wandering around the waterfall.

Chalan Beel (Bengali: চলনবিল) is a wetland in Bangladesh. It is a large inland depression, marshy in character, with rich flora and fauna. Forty-seven rivers and other waterways flow into the Chalan Beel. As silt builds up in the beel, its size is being reduced.
Chalan Beel is an extensive lowland area in the lower Atrai basin, and spreads across Singra and Gurudaspur upazilas on Natore District, Chatmohar, Bhangura and Faridpur upazilas of Pabna District, and Ullahpara, Raiganj and Tarash upazilas of Sirajganj District. It consists of a series of beels connected to one another by various channels to form a continuous water body during the rainy season. Although the beel area expands into a vast water body with dense aquatic vegetation as long as the Jamuna remains flooded during the monsoon months, it dries out in the winter months, leaving only patches of water in the central parts of this zone.
Chalan Beel is fast silting up. In the past it covered an area of about 1,085 km² but was reduced to 368 km² in 1909, of which only 85 km² remained underwater throughout the year. It has since shrunk to only 26 km².
The most important factor dominating the river history in Bengal is the large proportion of silt carried by its rivers. It is the silt which has created the land and made it habitable by building it up through the centuries. It is silt which is fertilising the land, but the silt, which has been the most beneficial gift of nature, has also produced most of the river problems now confronting the people of Bengal. Silt deposited in the old river channel beds has forced them to change course, creating problems for abandoned areas while assisting in developing new areas.
The main volume of water from the Ganges River began flowing through the Padma channel in the sixteenth century. Silt from the Padma helped in building up the southern portion of north Bengal. This is the most plausible explanation for the existence of a depression around Chalan Beel. The Teesta was active in the region until it changed its course in 1787. This territory lies in between the land raised in the north by the Teesta system when it was active and that in the south by the Padma.
However, there is another explanation for the creation of the depression. The Padma has been changing its course over the centuries. In Ven den Brouck's map of Bengal, prepared in 1660, the main channel of the Padma is shown as flowing through Faridpur-Bakharganj, but there also is a suggestion of another, possibly earlier channel. This channel runs through Rampur Boalia in Rajshahi, Chalan Beel, Dhaleswari and Buriganga before meeting the Meghna. At that time the Jamunawas virtually non-existent and the Brahmaputra used to flow through its old channel.
