Feni, Chattogram
A large, centuries-old tank on the edge of Feni town, named after a local raja, with tree-lined banks for a quiet walk.
Bijoy Singh Dighi is one of the largest and oldest tanks in Feni. By local tradition it was dug centuries ago by Raja Bijoy Singh, a local ruler, to give the people water — a common act of charity by the rulers and landowners of Bengal.
Like the other great tanks of the region, it served for generations as a source of drinking and bathing water. Today its wide water and tree-lined banks make it a calm green space close to the busy highway.
In the evenings and on holidays local families come here to walk and sit by the water.
Start with a quiet morning walk around the tank.
Rice and fish in town, with buffalo-milk curd to finish.
Hire a CNG south through Sonagazi to the reservoir.
Walk the embankment and watch the sunset, then return to town before dark.
Late afternoon, October to March
A short rickshaw or auto-rickshaw ride from Feni town centre, near Mohipal and the Dhaka–Chattogram highway.
