Halda River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halda River is a river in South-Eastern
Bangladesh. It originates at the Badnatali Hill Ranges in
Ramgarh Upazila in the
Chittagong Hill Tracts, flows through
Fatikchhari Upazila,
Hathazari Upazila,
Raozan Upazila and
Chittagong Kotwali Thana, and falls into the
Karnaphuli River. The 81 km long river has a very turbulent tributary, the
Dhurung River, which joins Purba Dhalai about 48.25 km downstream. The river is navigable by big boats 29 km into it (up to
Nazir Hat) and by small boats 16-24 km further (up to
Narayanhat). The Halda reaches up 21 feet (6.4 m) in depth and 30 feet (9.1 m) in deepest point. The Halda river is also famous for breeding pure Indian carp. This is the only pure Indian carp breeding field of Bangladesh, perhaps in South Asia.
