Sunamganj: Variant Baulai River

Baulai nodi(বওলাই নদী), a river near the Tanguar Haor(টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওর). Very picturesque and tranquil river. It seems the river doesn't have any hurry at this winter. Water is calm here, like pond water. Both banks of the river are having a peculiar trees which has the survival capabilities under water.



If you go to Tanguar Haor(টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওর) during winter, you have to go through the river. During on our way, we have seen a common lifestyle there. Specially at early morning, fishermen carrying a net is very common there. Most of them having a buoyant pot around them that keeps the fishes, and they were pushing or pulling the fishing net to catch fish.

I didn't see any migratory birds around the river during my travel. But I have seen lot of our native birds were preying around the river. Few birds I can remember are White Egret(সাদা বক), Pankouri(পানকৌরি), Common Seagull(গাংচিল), Kingfisher(মাছরাঙ্গা), etc.

Carrying a fishing net in morning is common here.

Baulai river(বওলাই নদী) is the only option for the local people for transporting. People were moving from one place to another using boats over the river. Goods are being carried here too. Apart from the private boat transports, I have seen several large public boats were carrying people too.
