Visit to Monpura Island
Monpura is a river Island located in the Souther part of Bangladesh under Bhola district. The Island area is 373.19 km2 with around 50,000 Population. This area is totally off the beaten track for the travelers but full of beauty. So, who loves to explore the secrets of any place, can visit Monpura Island. I recently visited the Island. I took the ferry to Hatia in the evening from Sadarghat River station. The ferry started 5.30 a.m & after running whole night it reached Monpura at 7 a.m next day. I got off from the ferry and walked around. After some time, I hired a Motorbike with driver and traveled some parts of the Island. Please look at the island with the eye of my camera.
