Lying on the banks of the riv­er of Kir­tonkho­la, Barisal is a small city of lights and laugh­ter that is ide­al for a week­end get­away. It has shim­mer­ing lakes and beau­ti­ful archi­tec­tur­al sites, and you can enjoy both the city, and its nat­ur­al sur­round­ings, on the same trip.

The Guthia Mosque locat­ed in the city is per­haps the most icon­ic tourist attrac­tion, and it is a must-vis­it. In addi­tion, the float­ing gua­va mar­ket held on boats is anoth­er expe­ri­ence you do not want to miss, as it is quite the spec­ta­cle. If you want to enjoy nature fur­ther, you can vis­it the Dur­ga Sagar lake and take a boat out or go kayak­ing.
