Destination guide
College Kheya Ghat (Sugandha crossing)
কলেজ খেয়া ঘাট
At the little ferry ghats by the college, Jhalokati's daily life crosses the Sugandha — students, market-goers, motorbikes loaded onto the boat. The crossing itself is the attraction: ৳10 a head, five minutes on the water, landing in Nalchity territory. Completely authentic, and about as cheap as travel gets.
History & significance
The ferry crossing has joined the two banks for generations; the ghat beside the mini park also serves the same daily crossers.
How to get there
From the town centre the college-side ghat is a short rickshaw ride. Boats shuttle through the day. On the far bank, autos wait near the Shaheed Minar for anywhere in Nalchity.
Entry fee
৳10 · traveller-reported

Opening hours & best time
Daylight hours, boats leaving as they fill; mornings and late afternoons are busiest.
Best time
Morning or late afternoon — that's when the ghat shows its real face.
Traveller tips
Ride both ways once — the return view of the town from the water is the better one.
Carry small change — the fare is literally a tenner.
Heading to the Nalchity boat market, crossing here is the cheapest way in.
