Brief

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.

Baulai River (বওলাই নদী), it is a river near the Tanguar Haor. It’s a very calm & charming river. Both banks of the river have a series of beautiful trees which has the survival capabilities under water. In winder season, you have to Tanguar Haor through the river.

Birds like White Egret (সাদাবক), Pankouri (পানকৌরি), Common Seagull (গাংচিল), Kingfisher (মাছরাঙ্গা), are seen in the winter season. Baulai River (বওলাইনদী) is the only way for transporting for the local People. Sometimes, you’ll see no people around the river for 2-3 miles. Meghalaya hill of India is the place of origin of this river. It flowed between the Tanguar Haor and joined with Surma River afterwards.

টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওড়ের কাছে একটি শান্ত নদী হল বওলাই নদী। ভারতের মেঘালয় পাহাড় থেকে উৎপত্তি হওয়া এ নদীর দুইতীরেই কিছু সুদৃশ্য গাছ রয়েছে যেগুলো পানির নীচেই বেঁচে থাকতে সক্ষম। টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওড় দিয়ে প্রবাহিত হয়ে এই নদীটি সুরমা নদীতে মিলিত হয়েছে। শীতকালে এই নদী অতিক্রম করেই আপনাকে টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওড়ে যেতে হবে। শীতকালে এখানে নানা প্রজাতির পাখি দেখতে পাওয়া যায় যেমনঃ সাদাবক, পানকৌরি, গাংচিল, মাছরাঙ্গা ইত্যাদি। স্থানীয়দের জন্য এই নদীটি পরিবহনের একমাত্র মাধ্যম। কখনো কখনো এ নদীর ২-৩ মাইল এলাকায় কোন জনমানব দেখতে পাওয়া যায় না।

Dholai River is originated from the Cherapunji Hills (চেরাপুঞ্জি পাহাড়) of India and entered the country through the Bholagonj of Sylhet. After flowing very poorly in our country, it joined with the River Surma.

Dholai River (ধলাই নদী) is famous for the stones. People used to collect the stone from the river. I have walked at the bank of the river from Bholagonj to “dosh number point”. The river bank seems too high for me. Possibly during rainy season, the river may have lot of water with heavy current.

ধলাই নদী ভারতের চেরাপুঞ্জি পাহাড়ে উৎপত্তি হয়ে সিলেটের ভোলাগঞ্জ দিয়ে বাংলাদেশে প্রবেশ করেছে। বাংলাদেশের অভ্যন্তরে সল্প মাত্রায় প্রবাহিত হয়ে এই নদীটি সুরমা নদীর সাথে মিলিত হয়েছে।

পাথরের জন্য ধলাই নদীর খ্যাতি রয়েছে। মানুষজন একসময় এই নদী থেকে পাথর সংগ্রহ করতো। ভোলাগঞ্জ থেকে ‘দশ নং পয়েন্ট’ পর্যন্ত আপনি ধলাই নদীর পাড় ঘেঁষে হাঁটতে পারবেন। হাঁটার সময় নদীটির পাড় আপনার কাছে বেশ উঁচু মনে হতে পারে। বর্ষাকালে পানি বেড়ে যাওয়ায় ধলাই নদীর সৌন্দর্য পূর্ণমাত্রা অর্জন করে।

The Padma River (Bengali: পদ্মা Pôdda) is a major trans-boundary river in Bangladesh. It is the main distributary of the Ganges (Bengali: গঙ্গা Gôngga), which originates in the Himalayas. The Padma enters Bangladesh from India near Chapai Nawabganj. It meets the Jamuna (Bengali: যমুনা Jomuna) near Aricha and retains its name, but finally meets with the Meghna (Bengali: মেঘনা) near Chandpur and adopts the name ‘Meghna’ before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Three side of the shariatpur is bounded by river. Padma river is bounded Shariatpur by various name such as Padma, Meghna & kirtinasha.

The Buriganga River (বুড়িগঙ্গা), previously known as "Old Ganges", flows past the southwest outskirts of Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. Its average depth is 7.6 meters (25 ft.) and its maximum depth is 18 meters (58 ft.). In the distant past, a course of the Ganges River used to reach the Bay of Bengal through the Dhaleswari River.

When this course gradually shifted and ultimately lost its link with the main channel of the Ganges it was renamed the Buriganga. It is said that the water levels during high and very high tides in this river astonished the Mughals. In the 20th century the water table and river became polluted by polythene and other hazardous substances from demolished buildings near the river banks.

Photograph of Dacca (Dhaka) taken in the 1880s, from an album 'Architectural Views of Dacca', containing 13 prints by Johnston and Hoffman. View looking along the river Buriganga towards the city of Dhaka situated on the left bank. A Hindu temple tower stands at the water's edge.
