What you can see and do

In the monsoon Nikli Haor spreads until no shore is in sight; the small villages then have nothing but water around them. Hire a boat from the embankment and go out to the flooded trees of Chhatirchar. A lunch of fresh haor fish is a large part of the trip.

How to get there

From the railway station area of Kishoreganj town, a CNG auto-rickshaw reaches the Nikli embankment in about 1.5 hours.

Safety notes

Wear a life jacket on a boat; stay off the river when a storm is likely.
