Niladri Lake
A blue lake in an old limestone quarry at Tekerghat, with green hills rising behind.
Niladri Lake fills a former limestone quarry near the border. The water is a vivid blue against grassy mounds and the hills beyond. It was a regular stop on Tanguar houseboat trips; since the August 2026 ban on houseboats in the haor’s protected area, it can still be reached by road from Tahirpur.
