Monsoon boat markets

In this region of canals, a small boat is as essential as a bicycle elsewhere. Before and during the monsoon, Atghar hosts boat markets where carpenters sell newly built wooden canoes. Buyers inspect the planks, bargain and paddle their new boats home. It is a living example of the area's water-based life.

Good to know

Ask locally for market days, which are fixed by the week.
