Dhanmondi Lake
Dhanmondi Lake is located in the Dhanmondi residential area in Dhaka City. The lake was a dead channel of the Karwan Bazar River and it was connected to the Turag River. At present the lake is incompletely connected with the Begunbari Canal. But the lake plays a vital role as a popular visited tourist spot through the Dhanmondi area
Only one decade before Dhanmondi Lake was not so popular and crowded like as at this time. People use to go there almost every day in dawn and stay until 9 or 10 PM. It is a very crowded place. People use to come here in weekdays but there huge people seem in the holidays. Everyone’s favorite place is Rabindra-Sarobar.
People come and gossip with their friends and many of them come for meet their fiancé or lover. They make their times very pleasurable by riding boats on the river or chatting with eating pea-nuts. Peanuts are more popular here, because of it is less expense and sword of passing time with eating..
There is much kind of trees in all the parts and always keep shadow. Many men and women from Dhanmondi or adjacent areas also come to walk over here.
Everyone in Dhaka city thinks for safety, but the lake is very secured place. We couldn’t see any bad incident to commit. At now, a number of security staffs are always posted here for securing the visitors.
Dingi is another favorite place in Dhanmondi Lake like Rabindra-Sarobar, but here we can find all kind of food items; Chotpoti, Fuchka, Tea, Coffee, Fast food, Chinese food, Bangladeshi food items etc. All the items are delicious but not expensive.
Only one thing is bad here is that, the water is not very much good for swimming. Though many street boys enjoy swimming in that dirty water. There have boats for hire and ride for as per-hour package, that price also affordable for general people.
Obviously Dhanmondi Lake is the best place for walking in the whole Dhaka city. It is a very big place. People can easily spend 1-2 hours here to walk through the whole lake. It is an excellent place for walking in the afternoon residents or visitors, child or old, healthy or patient people.
