About the Place:
Those who are fond of travelling to Nature can find this place awesome. We like to see valleys, hills, clouds, jungle, indigenous people, ethnic minority livings. These all are available here. The Valley is pretty awesome and charming to view. You can see the photographs how much beautiful the valley is. I have not a quality camera. Most of the photos have been captured with my Smartphone HUAWEI Y5II and Sony 16.1 MP Cyber Shot Camera. With this effort you can see the beauty. You can find the natural view of hills, cloud, jungle, falls all together.
It is winter that’s why no cloud in the sky. But very early morning there are some mist looks like cloud above the hills. But in Summer you will touch cloud by your hand. Most of the cloud will be below you. You will see some clouds have been trapped in between two hills. Thus, the beauty in the summer cannot be described. You must go over there in the summer to see this charming looking scenario.
Bangladesh government has completed a project to beautify this nice place. So, after that, now it’s very awesome natural place to travel by tourist. If you have time at your hand you can visit some temple, falls, garden, lake in Khagrachari and Rangamati Districts. It will be a nice tour for you along with other nearby natural beautiful places. Travelling is very enjoyable. I like to travel even I think most of us are so. If you like so, don't miss the opportunity to see the valley, ethnic minority of hills, their cultures and opportunity of touching cloud.
Tour Summary:
I visited this natural beautiful place with some of my colleagues. It was official tour from Textile Engineering College, Zorargonj, Chittagong. I started at 05:30 am on 16th January, 2020 from our campus by a mini bus. Then reached khagrachari at 10:00 am. Took our breakfast and pick a jeep. There we had to follow the squad by Army. Because of risky and people less area, any tourist have to go there by squad by Bangladesh Army. There are two timings 10:30 am and 03:00 pm from both ways. So, we picked the first squad luckily.
After reaching, fresh at hotel then lunch with special menus of there. Then went out for visit. Travelled several hills, and see sunset from hills. In the evening sing song, all together for about two hours. Then after dinner with bamboo chicken, we had a raffle draw program. It was enjoyable. I got a water pot (unfortunately). And then sleep at midnight after gossip with the sharp wind coming from the other hills.
On the next day, travelled here and there and did some sopping and photographs. Watched the sunrise as well. On 10:30 am squad we get back to Khagrachari. And then after lunch in a local favorite and famous restaurant named **System Restaurant**, travelled some tourist places like Alutila, Horticulture Park, Tareng etc in Khagrachari. We started at 06:30 pm from Khagrachari and reached by 10:00 pm. Its all about two days travel. It was very enjoyable travel to a tourist place with close mates. It was a memorable day and experience for all of us. After joining as a lecturer its my first tour with colleagues. It was very nice feeling and enjoyment. It was a nice experience along with gossip, singing, photography, walking through the hills, playing cards to night etc. Huge enjoyment. moments.
Previously i visited this place as I mentioned in couple of years ago. But this one was so fantastic. I shall remember this visit in my life. It was very nice feeling in taking several foods from local restaurants with local menus.
