Water Transport of BangladeshCountry-Made boats are the most widely used carrierThese carry passengers and merchandise on a large scale. The landscape of Bangladesh is dominated by about 250 rivers The alluvial flood plain formed by these rivers covers most of the
country. Wherever there is a river and a village, a launch or steamer will ply
for trade. A journey by Rocket Steamer service from Dhaka (Sadarghat) to
Khulna, the gateway to Sundarbans is a rewarding experience.
