Chalan Beel (Bengali: চলনবিল) is a wetland in the Sirajganj, Natore and Pabna districts of Bangladesh. It is a large inland depression, marshy in character, with rich flora and fauna.[1] Forty-seven rivers and other waterways flow into the Chalan Beel.[2] As silt builds up in the beel, its size is being reduced.[3]
