SLC-S33/W2 | Beyond the Map : Hidden Beyond the Map
I hope everyone is well and healthy.
There are many beautiful places around us, yet some remain tucked away, hidden from the bustle and the public eye. In the vicinity, one can find the kind of tranquility and unique natural charm that is often missing from the more prominent tourist attractions.
Today, I would like to share with you a wonderful spot located in Rangpur city. The place is called Khukrul'; once a vast wetland or beel, it is now transforming into a new attraction while preserving its inherent rural beauty.
Extraordinary view in this place
The name of this place is Kukrul, it is located in a rural environment a little outside the main center of Rangpur city.Visitors can easily reach this area from Rangpur city by auto/rickshaw, motorcycle or on foot.
I went to visit this beautiful place this afternoon.
Beside the canal
This place is unknown to many because it is a bit far from the city and on the village side.Because even two years ago this area was a canal.But the Bangladesh government has undertaken a project that has filled the canal a little. And new infrastructure has been built.The main city's light is out of context with religion, so due to the lack of proper promotion, it has escaped people's attention despite being such a beautiful place. Hopefully soon people will know about this area and come to spend some time here.
The front part of this place, which used to be a wetland
The most special thing about this place is its combination of natural diversity and modernity.On one side, for example, a river branch or canal flows, on which the traditional "vesal net" of the bus, i.e. fishing net leaves, are placed.On the other hand, if you look closely at the side of the field, you can see a new, modern building complex.The unpaved road running alongside the river or canal, with its large shadow and the sight of locals playing in the open fields in the afternoon, is completely different from other busy tourist destinations in the city and is one of the .
The road to reach this place, which looks extraordinary.

A fishing net has been cast into the Canel
Here, visitors can enjoy the immense views of rural nature and the fresh air of rivers and streams.Sitting by the canal in the afternoon and watching the sunset Come here and see the rural fishing scene.Moreover, it is a great place to spend time in peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and to discover the local rural lifestyle up close.

I think the main goal of Steam Atlas is to put unique ideas and places on a world map.The Kukrul area is filled with immense natural beauty and is also a traditional beel and canal-based area.Not only Kukrul, but the entire city of Rangpur is filled with immense beauty.
I hope that if this place is added to Steam Atlas, travel enthusiasts will be able to find this area very easily when they come to Rangpur.And they will be able to enjoy a new tourist area and natural beauty.

Special Note: This area is very vast, so it was not possible for me to capture the full picture. Due to the limitations of my mobile camera, I couldn't take photos of the entire area. Also, this canal extends much further.
Overall, it’s a wonderful place to visit and spend some peaceful time in nature. If you get a chance, do visit this spot!
