     Magnificent scenery  of Tanguar Haor

Tanguar Haor is the most beautiful haor in Dharmapasha and Tahirpur upazilas of Sunamganj district of Bangladesh. It is the second largest wetlands in Bangladesh that is spread over an area of about 100 km. This is one of the most mesmerizing places I have ever seen. The perfect time to visit there is in the rainy season.

              The house boat we rented 

Me and my family went to the haor to change the mood from monotonous life to have a refresh and peace of mind. The tour was for one night and two days but the experiences were to be remembered forever. We rented a houseboat that cost us around 4600 tk per person with meals and sightseeing. The houseboat was really comfortable.

  Most probably this picture is a side of the watchtower 

   We drank tea from him. He was so sweet. He even sang us a song.

The famous and  main attraction spot of Tanguar Haor was the watchtower where all the boats stopped there. It felt like a festive gathering of many people together. Every tourist was going into the water to have fun. Even local boys were also having fun. There were lots of boats that were available for exploring the surroundings. There were some tiny boats that sold snacks. We spent some time. Then getting back on the houseboat we all finished our lunch looking at the scenery. The beautiful view enhanced the taste of the food.  

    This place is called Lal Border. Maybe because there are many red stone.

We set off again and stopped at Tekerghat. Again we hired bikes and were taken to a place called Lal Border. There are some best spots to take a bunch of pictures. Then we went to Lakmachora. By the time we reached another spot, Niladri lake, it was almost evening. The sun was setting. The Scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. Then we bought some souvenirs from the border market. We stayed the night at the floating houseboat and ate our dinner. 

                Indescribable sight

The next morning we woke up and saw it was raining heavily. The boat was moving through the middle of the Haor. The fresh view of Indian hills on one side and the view of Haor on the other side was eye-catching. It can’t be described with words. Then we went to our next destination, Shimul garden. We bought tickets to enter the garden,  But I felt like there wasn’t much to see and it was a waste of time and money. The next spot was Barikka Tila. The sky, hills that are visible in the distance, landscape, river everything mixing together creating a satisfying scenery to just lock at it for life long. Witnessing such beautiful scenery our houseboat was taken to Jadukata river where we all went into the river and enjoyed some time. Then we went back to Sunamganj again. Thus our journey ends. We have two days to the fullest with nature surrounding us. This memorable journeys will be always kept in my heart.
