Satla Water-lily Wetland
What you can see and do
The wetlands of Satla village in Uzirpur fill with red water lilies from late monsoon until autumn. To see them open, be at the ghat before sunrise, because the petals shut once the day warms up. From the ghat a small dinghy takes you out among the flowers. Villagers also harvest the lilies to sell as a vegetable.
How to get there
From Barishal city go via Shikarpur to Satla in Uzirpur, about one and a half to two hours by bus; boats can be hired there.
Safety notes
Wear a life jacket on a boat; stay off the river when a storm is likely.
