Nikli Haor is located in Nikli Upazila, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. It is about 110 km away from country's capital Dhaka.[1] Apart from Nikli Upazila, the perimeter of this haor extends to the adjoining Mithamain, Austagram and Itna Upazilas.[2] It is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Bangladesh and also a popular tourist destination.[3] In the monsoon, when this haor is filled with water, the number of tourists increases greatly.[1]

Most of the villages in the haor are chars (river islands).
