The natural beauty of Nikli Haor, Mithamoin-Astagram road The large freshwater wetland breadth through Nikli, Mithamin, Astagram, and Itna Upazilas is a great place for long trips by boat. Small villages floating like islands on the water, fishermen busy with fishing in clear water, small swamps like Ratargul. You will find all of these in the Nikli Haor, which is 110 km away from Dhaka city. While floating over the Haor, Chhatirchor village will fill your eyes with the fascination of a magical water forest. When there is less water, you will see half floating Monpura Char. You can walk around there for a while. However, if the Haor is filled to the brim with water, the char will not be visible. Finally, the reflection of the rays of the setting sun over the Haor water will create an unforgettable memory in your mind.
