Belai Beel Gazipur

Belai Beel is a charming beel surrounded by Baria, Brahmangaon, Bakhtarpur and Bamchini Mauza villages along the Chelai river in Gazipur district. Spread over an area of ​​about 8 square miles, many parts of this bill have water almost throughout the year. However, if you want to enjoy the true beauty of Belai Bill, there is no alternative to the rainy season. It is known that this bill did not exist 400 years ago. Like the flow of Chelai river, this bill was also a drought. During the rainy season, fishermen are busy around the bill, but during the dry season, the bill becomes a paddy field.

The enchanting scenery of the bill full of shapla-shaluk, the movement of one or two boats, the wide body of water and a single village floating like an island in the midst of it, make Belai Bill a beautiful beauty of nature. And the island village of Bamchini Mouza in Bill is famous throughout the country for one house in one mouza. Also, if you have time, you can visit Bhawal Pargana, a cremation ground/cremation house located along the river.

From anywhere in the capital Dhaka by bus or any other convenient transport, get down at Gazipur bus stand or Gazipur Shibbari and from there take a rickshaw or CNG to Kanaya Bazar. At Kanaia Bazar Ghat you can hire a boat for Belai Bill tour. You can go around with a bargain boat on an open bill.

And if you want to take a private car, cross the Tongi flyover and take the left road from Pubile College Gate for four miles, pass Jal O Jangal Kavya Resort, turn right and walk for another ten minutes to reach Kanaya Bazar.

Due to its location near Dhaka, it is possible to go in the morning and return in the evening. And if you want to spend the night on the boat, definitely inform the Kanaiya Bazaar Committee with your information.

Nothing but tea-biscuits is available in Kanaya market. Can carry food with you if needed.
