Madhumati River, distributary of the upper Padma River (Ganges [Ganga] River), flowing through southwestern Bangladesh. It leaves the Padma just north of Kushtia and flows 190 miles (306 km) southeast before turning south across the swampy Sundarbans region to empty into the Bay of Bengal. In its upper course it is called the Gorai; in its lower course it is known as the Baleswar; and its estuary mouth, which is some 9 miles (14 km) wide, is called the Haringhata. The Madhumati is one of the largest of the Padma distributaries in the southern part of the Gangetic Plain.

একাধিক জেলা দিয়ে প্রবাহিত বাংলাদেশের চমৎকার এই নদীটির পানির রঙ সবুজ। বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম ছোট জেলা মাগুরা দিয়েও এই নদীটি প্রবাহিত হয়েছে। মধুমতি নদীটি বাংলাদেশের অন্যান্য নদীগুলোর মতো কারন বর্ষা মৌসুমের শুরুতে এই নদীটি যথেষ্ট প্রসারিত থাকে যা কিনা বর্ষা মৌসুমের শেষে আরও বেড়ে যায়। নদীর একপাড় থেকে অন্য পাড়ে মানুষকে পাড় করার জন্যে একটি খেয়া ঘাট আছে। এই নদীতে ট্রলারের মত ভারি নৌযান চলাচল না করায় নদীটির পানি তেল দিয়ে দুষিত হয়নি।
অন্যান্য নদীর তীরের চেয়ে এই নদীর তীরে অবস্থিত রাস্তাটি বেশ উঁচু। এছাড়া এখানে অবস্থিত একটি বটগাছ আছে যেটির ছায়াতলে ক্লান্ত পথিক, রিকশাচালকরা বিশ্রাম নিয়ে থাকেন।

Kangsha (কংস), a river from Bangladesh (বাংলাদেশ). It has several names, Kangsha (কংস), Kangshai (কংসাই), Kangshabati (কংসবতী), etc. This flows through Mymensingh (ময়মনসিংহ) and Netrakona (নেত্রকোনা). All of the photos of this river were taken from Netrakona (নেত্রকোনা).
The river is originated from the Garo Hills (গারো পাহাড়) of India and flows as Kongsho (কংস), and later joined with the Shomeswari (সোমেশ্বরী) river at Jaria-Jhanjail (জারিয়া-ঝান্জাইল). The river kept the name Kangsha (কংস) after joining together.
Near the bridge you'll find two bazaar at either side. One is Jaria (জারিয়া), and other one is Jhanjail (ঝান্জাইল). People used to call this place as Jaria-Jhanjail (জারিয়া-ঝান্জাইল) together.
During its course the river become too narrow and before demising it has joined with another great river of Bangladesh, Shurma (সুরমা), at Sunamganj (সুনামগঞ্জ).
All the photos of this article were taken from the car while crossing the Kongsho Bridge at Jaria-Jhanjail. GPS coordinate of the bridge at (25° 0'46.59"N, 90°38'50.00"E)

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. After crossing Ferry from "Mawa" you have to cross the "Arial Khan" Bridge to connect with southern portion of the country. Also, just near from the district Madaripur, there is a Ferry over "Arial Khan" to connect with another district Sariatpur.

There are lots of marvelous natural and man-made objects to enjoy near the bank of Karnafuli River in the port city Chittagong. If you visit the Karnafuli River, there is a restaurant called Zoom, just beside the Chittagong-Kaptai road. This restaurant is monitored and managed by BDR. It’s a nice picnic spot. A lot of students from Rangamati go there as a study tour.
From the spot, you can enjoy the panoramic view over the river Karnafuli. This river is flowing nicely, always full with water, whether its dry season or rainy. Both side of the river has small Mountains, and which is rich with various kinds of deciduous trees. If you visit there in the dry season, you may find most of the trees having no leaves. Its different kinds of beauty. No sign of life, but it’s still wonderful to enjoy.
There are several boats at the river, you can have a boat ride using them. Those are a bit costly, but you know you have to spend some money when you want to enjoy that kind of such beauty.
