The Dhanmondi Lake- Dhaka
Dhaka is a busy metropolitan city which is expanding with many satellite cities and suburb towns. Dhanmondi is one of the much planned locations of Dhaka which was developed back in the 1950s and is located almost in the center of the city. It has been traditionally recognized as an up market, affluent residential area. Previously Dhanmondi was more of a quiet location but recently it has become a very busy area with many shopping malls, plazas, banks, restaurants, hospotals, educational institutions as well as art galleries. This is a place where you will find almost everything for a regular life and one of its most attractive parts is the lake that flows in between various points of Dhanmondi. This lake is also named accordingly as the Dhanmondi Lake. Almost 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi was conserved for the lake. Dhanmondi lake is a well visited spot where many interesting activities and events take place on a regular mode. The lake comes with different looks and beauty in different seasons. There are many trees around this lake blossoming with various strokes of colors such as red, orange, pink, yellow, white and purple. On a hot summer like this a walk beside the lake can be very relaxing and enchanting to pass the leisure times. People tend to visit the lake during the evening sunlight as it gets comforting and air becomes cooler with soft breezes. Starting from Jigatola the lake extends up to Road # 27, and bounded by the Mohammadpur-Lalmatia area in the north, Satmasjid Road in the west, BGB Gate (Dhanmondi Road # 2) in the south and in the east by Kalabagan residential area. It is 3 km in length, 35.37 ha. Excess floodwater due to heavy rainfall passes through this rivers drainage. So water level in the lake remains almost the same in all time. There are many food fourts and small restaurants near the side walks of the lake. Dingi, Panshi, Shampaan are one of the popular restaurants beside the lake. Tea, soft drinks, pickles, pithas (Bengali Sweet cake) and ice-creams are available in the walkways too.
