Nouka Baich (Boat Race) is one of most traditioonal form of entertain from people of Bangladesh. Its history is very rich and very unique in nature comparing with the other form of boat race anywhere in the world. Apart from the only restriction about no engine boat to be allowed, there are no rule about how long the boat can be or how many people will it carry. The most unique feature about Nouka Baich is in every boat there is a leader who does not row rather acts as an energizer for the whole team by singing songs and rhymes. Normally this race is held in big river channels and neighbouring villages participate for the pride of their villages.
