| RIVER |
|
| Country-made boats are the most widely used transport in
the rivers of Bangladesh. These carry both passengers
and merchandize. The landscape of Bangladesh is
dominated by about 250 rivers, which flow essentially
north-south. Mechanized water transport is mainly
operated by the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport
Corporation (BIWTC), which run ferry and launch
services on the main routes. There are also services
run by private companies. Journey by Rocket Steamer
Service from Dhaka (Sadarghat) to Khulna, the gateway
to the Sundarbans is a rewarding experience even
though the journey time is approximately 24 hours.
