The total atmosphere was bathed with excellent beauty. The open fields, green crops etc. created the eye-dazzling sight the cottages of the rivers side villages with a cluster of trees beside them offered a very fantastic look. We sow the village women bathing in the river and carrying water. Fishermen were fishing, birds of various species were hovering over our heads.

We got down from the boat we decided to cook food some of my friends went to the bazer and bought rice, vegetables and fish there were cooking equipment for the boatman on their boat. One of the oarsmen was an excellent cook. He cooked deliciously and after eating we resumed our journey the boatman again started singing. We felt sleep with the gentle breeze. The songs of the boatman also lulled us too sleepy mood. However, we resisted our sleep and engaged ourselves in sucking the beauty of all around.
