The Riverside Gem of Rajshahi located along the banks of the majestic Padma River, I-Badh, also known as the I Embankment, serves as a crucial protective barrier safeguarding the city of Rajshahi from river erosion. Positioned near the Rajshahi Court area, just a short distance from the city center, this embankment is both an essential infrastructure and a beloved destination for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful escape.
During the monsoon season, I-Badh transforms into a picturesque riverside retreat. The lush greenery, gentle rustling of leaves, and the rhythmic flow of the Padma combine with soft monsoon drizzle to create a scene of serene beauty. The embankment becomes a hub for evening strolls, cycling, and bike rides, offering visitors a chance to enjoy cool breezes and panoramic river views after a busy day.
For photography enthusiasts, I-Badh presents countless opportunities to capture the changing moods of the river, vibrant monsoon skies, and the interplay of sunlight and water. Nature lovers can observe local birdlife, enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water, or simply relax while watching the river glide past in tranquil grace.
Accessing I-Badh is convenient. From Rajshahi Zero Point, take the western route and travel approximately five kilometers. After passing the Rajshahi Court Bazaar, the embankment opens up, revealing its wide, open spaces and refreshing riverside atmosphere.
Visitors at Ashrai Inn can easily plan a short trip to I-Badh to unwind and connect with nature. Whether it’s a peaceful walk along the embankment, a sunset riverside view, or simply relaxing by the flowing Padma, this riverside destination perfectly complements a stay in Rajshahi.
Experience the harmony of nature, tranquility, and scenic beauty at I-Badh — a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the cultural and natural richness of Rajshahi.
