By road from Habiganj town; reaching Bithangal Akhra in the monsoon may need a boat.
Help can take a while to reach here, so prepare ahead.
General guidance; check the weather and local conditions yourself before you go.
An all-weather road built straight across the haor. In the monsoon there is nothing but water on both sides, which has made the road itself an attraction.
