Every person wants to travel the tourist spots in search of mental peace but lack of time and loads of work keeps them busy. Many people worry about many things before traveling. There is tension about time, adequate money and good travel companion. You might have seen all the tourist spots around Dhaka city. You do not have enough money and time to travel somewhere far away, but you need an aesthetic and pleasant environment to make yourself resilient.
To see the waves of the Padma River and boat trip, you can go to Moinot Ghat located in Dohar upazila of Nawabgonj. The beautiful high waves will enchant your mind. Walking on the bank of the beautiful river, and seeing the boats swinging sideways by the waves would make you feel that you are on Cox’s Bazar sea beach not in Dohar, Dhaka. For this reason, many people call it ‘Mini Cox’s Bazar’.
As Moinot Ghat is not yet known, many nature lovers are deprived of enjoying the beauty of this place. If you go there early in the morning then you will see the bazaar of various species of fish including Hilsa. If you want you can buy fish at cheat price from here.
The best time to enjoy the beauty of Moinot Ghat is rainy reason. It is amazing to see the sunset sitting on the bank of the Padma River. Here visitors can see plenty of sailboats of various colours. Local people living in the surrounding areas roam into the river with speed boat or trawler during holidays. Tourists start coming from far away. It is not like that you will go back just seeing the beach. Besides, you can visit Judge Bari (house), Ukil Bari, Khelaram Kotha and many other tourist spots in Nawabgonj.
