Life On The Brahmaputra River Chars

An aerial view shows a buffalo herd grazing and moving across a dry river char near the Brahmaputra River in Gaibandha, Rangpur, Bangladesh, on February 17, 2026. The animals scatter over the grass-covered sandbar while herders guide them from a distance. Seasonal river recession exposes vast grazing grounds, but the unstable char landscape reflects the fragile and shifting nature of life along the Brahmaputra basin.
