Beauty of nature is busy with their makeup at Gopalganj’s Balakoir Bheel, as like in competition to beautify it then the other sites! Rose-petal lotus is peeping and dancing in mild balance with air while all white-petal lotuses are smiling at partner’s doings.
Balakoir Bheel, 12 kilometers away from Sadar upazila, has now turned into attractive tourist spot. In the Rainy season it becomes a water lily ground. Charmed locals also called it as ‘Padmo Bheel.’
The number of spectators and tourists in the bheel is increasing day by day, especially in holidays.
The spot is also a source for income. Many people pick flowers from it and sell it at markets. Retailers are supplying lotuses in different districts including Dhaka, Khulna and Madaripur.
