Travel with friends on the largest river in North Bengal.

Hello friends, how are you all, I hope you are all doing well. Welcome to my new post. First of all, my friends, we decided that we would go somewhere on vacation and this place is quite far from our home. We went there with a lot of difficulty. Our journey started in the morning. We woke up in the morning, then I called my friend and he asked me to come to his house and another boy would go with us. But I was not at all prepared that another boy would go with me.

That boy was basically a boy from our area, however, we took him too because there were three of us. At that time, which was quite far from our destination. We left in the morning at the place where it was about 70 kilometers away from our home. Where there is one of the largest rivers in North Bengal of Bangladesh. There are also many other rivers, but this river is very good to me. Since the branches behind this river have passed through our area. So I really wanted to see the river. There are rivers all around our country, which is why I like rivers very much.

We left there after sunrise. I took my motorcycle. A personal motorcycle of our family. But it was running very slowly, due to which we were quite far from our destination. It took a long time. We started going by road. First, we went to our upazila city, which was about 12 kilometers away from our house. We first went there by motorcycle, after going there, we filled the motorcycle with petrol. Then from there we left again. We were passing through our upazila city, which is why it took us quite a long time to go.

While going on the road, we saw quite a few cars. Then we went from that small upazila road to the highway, which is the biggest highway in our country. Which has connected our various cities in North Bengal with our capital Dhaka city. We saw grass on the side of the road, which is not seen much in our area. However, in these areas it is seen that they have planted grass on the side of the road. Actually, I think these farmers are very intellectual. The farmers of this area have planted grass on the roadside so that their animals can eat grass. We were quite surprised to see this. I was sitting on the back of the motorcycle, which is why I asked my friends to observe these roadside things carefully.

There are small markets in the middle of the roads in our country that we were passing. We passed about 10 to 12 markets. We got down in one market and my friend behind us started eating. My friend said that he was very hungry. That's why we stood there. Then we entered the hotel and we had some food from there. It didn't take us much time to eat. We came out of there after a while. Then we left again with the motorcycle. At that time, I was driving the motorcycle.

After a while we went to our desired place. We saw that there was a big bridge there, we were not there at all. I came here to see this bridge and was quite surprised. There is a very big river here. I saw on the signboard that this is the largest Ichamati river in North Bengal. I heard a lot about this river from my mother as a child but I had never seen this river directly. This river is quite big in this place but in our area it is divided into two parts. This river is divided into two parts and has created two rivers.

This river enters India from here. Then it merges with the Padma river again in Rajshahi city. We first went to the river bank, after going we stood at a small place, then we left our motorcycle. Then I went down the river. We could see that there was a small part of the river on one side. We went to that place, it was very difficult for us to go to this place. Because this place was quite a hilly area. As I went, my feet got worse because I couldn't walk much.

I went up the hill a little. Then I saw that there are many farmers here who mainly grow various crops on the hill. Especially the spices that we need to buy are there in abundance. Apart from that, many vegetables are cultivated here by the farmers. Since this is a good soil river area, I think it is very convenient for them to grow vegetables and fruits here. But when there is a lot of flooding here, these crops get submerged in water. Then the farmers here are in a very bad condition.

Then we went down. We saw a small boat. We secretly sat in that boat and we started taking photographs there. Actually, there is a small river next to a river. This is a small Upasa river. From here too, I saw that there is not much water flow. Now it is winter, due to which the rivers have dried up a lot in our country. There I saw that there were some people who brought their cows and they tied them to the river bank. So that the cows could eat grass. Sitting in the boat, we started taking photographs there for a long time. I was looking at the water of the river with my hand, it was very cold water.

This river starts from India and enters India again from Bangladesh and it merges into the Bay of Bengal. Its width is quite large. This width of the river is large due to which the river looks very beautiful and the bridges here are quite large. People here use these bridges to move around. However, we went to pay the price from there. However, before going to the main river, we saw a vast sandy place there. Where there is a lot of sandy soil where I saw many tractors from which sand is being extracted.

Then we walked for quite a long way. We basically went to Modi which was the main river but since the river is dry due to which we did not have much speed to observe it. We walked and went to the river water. Then we took many photographs there as the river is very big I was looking to my north which is quite a wide river. This river seems to be three to four times bigger than the rivers in our area and the vast plain of this river keeps me very busy.

There was a lot of sunshine there. Due to which we felt quite good. When the white sand part of the river ended we went to the river water then we stood on a small island which was basically located in the middle of the river water as if it was a small island in the middle of the sea. We saw some fishermen who had come here mainly to fish and we saw many of their equipment. They have many techniques through which they catch fish in the river but there are some things that they leave in the river.

There I saw small fish. I think that the ones that were very small will be like this now. Maybe in two to three months they will become much bigger. Then when the rainy season comes, these fish will spread all around and when they are in the river, the fishermen feel very comfortable fishing. Many small districts and upazilas of our North Bengal have been developed along this river. Due to which the river is very special for us.

From there, we took our bikes again in the evening towards our home. It took us almost till eight in the night to reach our home. In this way, we end our travel with this famous river. I hope you will like this post of mine.
