Ghor hoite dui pa felia…

Within the very little breaks I get from my medical studies, I’ve started to travel a lot.. This time it was Chittagong, 2 days tour – 2 places to go – Rangamati & Bandarban.

I can’t explain how beautiful these places were… Now I know why they say :

দেখা হয় নাই চক্ষু মেলিয়া
ঘর হতে শুধু দুই পা ফেলিয়া
একটি ধানের শীষের উপর
একটি শিশির বিন্দু ।

Allow me to share with you some of the photographs I’ve taken.

First, Rangamati :

It was a bright but not-so-sunny day-

I visited the ‘hanging bridge’ first -

while the sky started to become dark-

Never-the-less, I decided to visit Rajbari next-

from the boat, the sky was stunning at sunset-

And, this one was on the way back-

Next, it was Bandarban :

The road-side-view told me, it would be a great place to visit-

and, so it was-

Don’t miss the sunset-

And the calmness it brings-

I felt like wishing to stay there, forever-

Lastly, a few travel tips :

1. There is no mobile phone network in Rangamati or Bandarban. (Though I could send sms from a particular 2/2 ft spot right in the middle of the highway in front of Meghla (Bandarban), I named it the GP spot .) There is tnt land phone connection though.

2. From both places, the last bus leaves at 6:30PM. Book your tickets early, or you’ll end up walking along the highway (like me!)

3. If you can pick time and spot carefully, you will be able to avoid tourist gatherings. Believe me, the places look a lot different when you are alone.
