Ilisha River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

Ilisha River is a distributary of the Meghna River flowing through the Bhola District of Bangladesh. The Meghna River takes the name "Ilisha" in the northwestern part of Bhola District. Flowing through the western side of Bhola and alongside the Tentulia River, it eventually drains into the Bay of Bengal. Together, these two rivers have turned Bhola-Shahbazpur into an island. Flowing west of Bhola as the Tentulia, the Ilisha River passes through Bakerganj, Bauphal, and Galachipa before reaching the Bay of Bengal.

Flows through: Bangladesh.
