In Bengali, ‘Baor’ is a ‘fresh-water lake’ and Berir Baor is a 06 kms. long Ox-Bow Lake created by the meandering Ichamati River. This Baor is famous for its aquatic fauna and some of the best quality fresh water fishes. A lavish lunch obliged by the delicious fishes of Berir Baor followed by a boat ride over this endless stretch of water guarded by greenery on all sides culminating in an awesome sunset over the lake are few things you can expect this weekend at Berir Baor.
