Bhimruli floating guava market

Bhimruli, on the Kirtipasha canal, hosts the largest of the region's floating guava markets. In season, hundreds of canoes piled with green fruit gather, and traders move from boat to boat to bargain. Surrounding canals pass guava and amra orchards, with small bridges and homesteads along the banks. Hiring a boat to explore the waterways is the best way to see it.

How to get there

From Jhalokathi town take an auto to Bhimruli (about 30 min), or come from Barishal by road.

Good to know

Go early on a market morning in July or August; carry a dry bag and wear sandals.
