How to go
From Muktarpur Bus stop of Munshiganj Sadar, you can ride on a Bus moving towards Tongi Bari Upazila.This Dighi is just 15 minutes away from Muktarpur.
How To Reach: Munshiganj District
There are several transport is available from Dhaka to Munshiganj. The bus services are “Nayan Paribahan”, “Dighir par Paribahan” and “Dhaka Transport”, all of the buses used to start from “Gulistan” of Dhaka. It will cost you 60-80 taka, and will require 1 hrs to 2 hrs bus journey depending upon the road traffic.
Also you can hire CNG auto rickshaw from the “Postogola”, and it will take you 250-350 to take you at Muktarpur bridge. Remember, if you are hiring CNG, make sure who will provide the toll of the bridge. For you information, the toll fee is 20 taka. So negotiate with the driver of CNG about who will provide the toll.
Where to Stay
Though the district is just beside the Dhaka, still its hard to find a suitable hotel from the district. The main reason, may be people from dhaka used to come this place for a single day trip. But anyway, if you need to stay at Munshiganj town, that case I’ll suggest you to stay at “Hotel Comfort” this one is the best from the town. Also you there is another one which is “Hotel three star international”. But the quality of the rooms of this hotel is not that much good. For both cases, it will take 100-700 taka per night depending upon the room.

Upendra Sorobor (উপেন্দ্র সরোবর) is a rectangular shaped large pond that is located at the Nagarpur of Tagnail District. In English, the word 'Sorobor' means a lake. It was dug by the famous Zamindar of Nagarpur during 1381 of Bengali calendar, which is around 80 years from now. During that time the villagers needed to go far away from the home to collect water (for drinking and household works). To ease their water crisis, the generous Zamindar took initiative to dig this large water tank.
This large pond has in total 12 ghats for taking baths. The Western side's one is the biggest one and it has a false gate on there. It also has a medium sized Banyan tree on there. Lot of local visitors use to gather here during the afternoon and they use to sit under that tree.

Limestone Lake of Tekerghat is located near the Tanguar Haor, so close to Indian border. Once upon a time there was a limestone quarry, but now-a-days that one is not functioning. The Tekerghat Limestone Lake (টেকেরঘাট চুনাপাথরের লেক) is minimum 18 kilometers north from the Tahirpur town.
The water of the lake is clear. You might the water of the lake would be blue. But still the water isn’t bad. This lake was created by quarrying the limestone. Exactly other side of the lake is India. People from India usually take their bath at that side. Hill of that side has large boulders of limestone, but all belongs to India.
There are few small Tila (টিলা) available in Bangladesh side, possibly 20 ft. height and artificial. You can pass few minutes on those if you like.
{:}{:bn}টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওড়ের কাছে ভারত সীমান্তবর্তী একটি স্থানের নাম টেকেরঘাট। একসময় এখানে একটি চুনাপাথরের খনি থাকলেও বর্তমানে খনিটির কার্যকারিতা আর নেই। তাহিরপুর থেকে অন্তত ১৮ কিলোমিটার উত্তরে টেকেরঘাট চুনাপাথরের লেক অবস্থিত।
টেকেরঘাট চুনাপাথরের লেকের পানি নীল না হলেও বেশ পরিষ্কার। চুনাপাথর খননের ফলে এই লেকটির সৃষ্টি হয়। টেকেরঘাট চুনাপাথরের লেকের অপর প্রান্তে ভারত অবস্থিত হওয়ায় সেখানকার অধিবাসীরা লেকে গোসল করে থাকে। লেকের ভারতীয় অংশের পাহাড়ে চুনা পাথরের বিশাল খণ্ড রয়েছে।
টেকেরঘাট চুনাপাথরের লেকের বাংলাদেশ প্রান্তে প্রায় ২০ ফুট উচ্চতার কয়েকটি কৃত্রিম ছোট টিলা রয়েছে। আপনি চাইলে এসব টিলার উপর উঠে কিছু সময় কাটাতে পারেন।{:}
