Atghar Boat Market

আটঘর নৌকার বাজার

In the monsoon this boat market fills up — old boats change hands and new ones are bought ahead of the season. Many come just to watch this floating tradition of Barishal's waterways. It's also a second hire point for guava-orchard boats.

How to get there

By CNG from Barishal city to Atghar Kuriana — reachable by 7:30 AM; the market sits by the Kuriana bazar area.
