If Bangladesh was a human being, its rivers would be its arteries, the passages that supported all life in the waterborne country. In historical times, Bangladesh’s rivers were its roadways—all trade, transport and commerce would have commenced on veins of the country’s massive river network. During the monsoon, these channels dominate the landscape of Bangladesh, causing constant floods and inund
ating more than half the country at the peak of the wet season. The strength and power of these rivers cannot be denied. Their meandering pathways constantly foil the meagre attempts of human beings to bring these rivers under control via embankments or circumvent them with bridges—the rivers simply change course every few hundred years. The flooding causes constant havoc to thousands of unfortunate souls, but they also bringing life giving sediment from the Himalayas where ever they go. Unfortunately, the historic versions of Bangladesh’s sailing vessels are gradually disappearing. With the arrival of cheap Chinese irrigation pumps in Bangladesh, most of the river people have traded in their sails for the speedier engine versions of their boats. Jolrashi is one of the few—in fact it is probably the only one—working to preserve the riverine boats of Bangladesh. By offering tours in their historic boats, travelers are voting to preserve this dying boat-building tradition. Finally, Jolrashi Tours also works closely with Friendship, an NGO that has created unique floating hospitals that service the poorest of Bangladesh’s river people. All in all, the choice to travel with Jolrashi is an excellent one, not only for the wonderful experience of visiting Bangladesh’s rivers up close, but to support their development initiatives as well.
