Naf River of Bangladesh

According to my knowledge, Naaf river(নাফ নদী) is the only one that is shared between Myanmar(মায়ানমার) and Bangladesh(বাংলাদেশ). The eastern coast of the river is Arakan(আরাকান) sate of Burma(বার্মা), and the western coast is Teknaf(টেকনাফ) of Bangladesh(বাংলাদেশ).



Naff Nodi(নাফ নদী) is originated from the Arakan Hills of Myanmar and after flowing as a trans-boundary river, and finally falls into the Bay of Bengal. The river is having 1-3 kilometer width between the two countries at some places and the depth of the river is having 130ft an average depth and highest depth is 400ft.



Being near to the ocean, the water of the river is salty. Also the water level has an ups and downs based on the high and low tide from the sea. Keeping similarity with the Bay of Bengal, the river has almost same color of the ocean.
