Chandpur

Chandpur stands where the Dakatia meets the Meghna, downstream from the meeting of the Meghna and Padma. Here the broad waters carry the combined flow of great rivers towards the Bay of Bengal. Boats can enter the Dakatia from the Meghna, making the meeting of the channels a natural place for a river port. The banks are continually reshaped by currents, floodwaters and deposited silt.
