The haor is an extensive alluvial plain supporting a variety of wetland habitats. It contains about 47 major haors and more than 6000 beels, or freshwater lakes, nearly half of which are seasonal. Hakaluki Haor itself is a complex of more than 80 inter-connecting beels located in Moulvibazar district. During the dry season, the beels cover an area of approximately 4,400 haor. However, during the rainy season, the entire area gets flooded, and the beels are united as one large lake, or haor, with an area of approximately 18,000 haor. This makes it the largest haor in Bangladesh.
