The Bridge on The River Shilabati

More than a decade since I visited this incredible place! The memories are still etched vividly in my mind. I'm talking about the Bhasha Pool, also known as the Pontoon Bridge or Floating Bridge, located in Ghatal, Midnapore in West Bengal. This remarkable bridge is situated on the Shilabati River (also referred to as Shilai River) and is literally a floating wonder! It's made by connecting boats with ropes from both sides of the riverbanks. I remember being amazed by the simplicity and ingenuity of this construction. As I reflect on my visit, I'm filled with a sense of awe and curiosity. It's truly a testament to human creativity and resourcefulness. Even after all these years, the memory of walking on this floating bridge remains with me. If you ever find yourself in Ghatal, Midnapore, make sure to visit this incredible spot!
