Photographs of Cox's Bazar!
hello peoples,
What's up everyone, today I will share my full experience of Cox's Bazar tour, along with all the photos clicked by me. Hope you like it.
I have been to Cox's Bazar more than 5-6 times. I have gone twice this year. There is an opportunity to go to Cox's Bazar in all seasons, winter-summer-monsoon-autumn. But since I like to take pictures, in my opinion the best time to go to Cox's Bazar is June-August; There are cottony clouds in the sky; Golden hour (half an hour before sunset to sunset) and blue hour (half an hour after sunset) are excellent. Ideal time to take photos.
However, we went a bit earlier, in the last week of June. We are 5; The rest of Alser's bones! Many photos were not taken for Alcemi. Appeared without booking, in non-AC bus. Start looking for hotel after breakfast. A lot of negotiation is required, stayed at Pink Shore Hotel near Sugandha beach, average quality hotel. Although from the beginning the desire was to stay in an affordable hotel near Himchari-Inani. Later I drop that plan for some reason.
I spend the first day walking around; Sugandha Beach, I wandered around the markets next to the beach. I did not take any pictures that day.
My real intention is to visit Shamlapur-Monakhali beaches. Because Sugandha-Labani beach is not available to take pictures anymore. Millions (literally) of people walk there! So on the second day I had lunch at Cafe Mejban with various bharta items and left for Shamlapur-Monakhali. Rent a battery operated auto for 900 taka; Go-come-stop-take pictures!
This minijourney was the most enjoyable for me. After crossing a very bad road, I went to the famous Marine Drive; Mountains on one side and sea on the other - great combo. After running for thirty minutes, I took a break in Himchari. I bought a ticket and rode up the hill; I was upset to get up; Scattered packets and plastic; The picture took a lot of photoshop!!
I started the journey again. After crossing Inani, I reached Shamlapur-Monakhali (adjacent area) within half an hour. Fascinated by the glittering appearance of the beach, as well as the dizzying sky. As the afternoon progresses, the mesmerizing beauty of the sky becomes more terrifying!! The pictures of this place in this series of mine are very little retouched! Because the beauty of that beach that day was already unbelievable. I saw many corals in the beach. In some parts of the beach there were no footprints except us!!!
When the evening came, I left the place and came back to Suganta. Went to hotel after having grilled chicken-partata-tea at a restaurant on Sugandha Beach Road. After freshening up, I went out again. Rent a sea bed on the beach and watch the stars in the sky.
The next morning I walked along Sugandha Beach towards Labni and got the location to take pictures in the afternoon. If you go beyond Labani Beach, it is quite empty. Then I went back to the hotel with 2-3 kg of sand in my clothes after splashing around in the sea. In the afternoon I enjoyed the sunset at the end of Labani Beach; I also took pictures. The sky was as beautiful as the previous day. How to go: (How we went):
Although I am not a big fan of buses, my friends are quite bus lovers. According to their wish, I booked the ticket of ENA bus. The ticket price was Rs.1000 per person. Boarded at 8:30 PM and reached Dolphin Junction at 7:30 AM. The hotel was already booked. Our hotel was on the left hand side from Dolphin intersection. BAY WONDERS.
Shalik restaurant was in front of the hotel! Next to Simon. And standing on the balcony of the hotel, the sound of the sea comes. And the waves of the sea could be seen. Our room was double bed. AC TV and was very noisy. Our room rent was Rs.1250/=. We took two rooms. Comfort should not be reduced. There was a single room and the rent was Rs. 1000/=.
We were quite luxurious in terms of food. We had good food for three meals. If you want you can buy three meals between Rs.300-350/=. Each of us took about 700 taka for food daily.
I fell in love with sea fish and crab. Needless to say, so delicious and satisfying.
As per our plan, we spent the first day in rest and visiting the sea beach. On the second day, I left for Himchari Hills. Himchari fare from Dolphin Mor is Tk 40 per person. We reserve 5 autos for 200 taka. Climbed on top of Himchari hill and gazed at the immense beauty of nature. Surrounded by green hills and birdsong. What could be a better feeling?
time to return There is a counter for Dhaka bound buses at Dolphin Junction. Come to Dhaka on a ticket of 800 taka on ENA.
We stayed there for a total of 4 nights and 5 days. 7000+/= per person spent. Comfort and luxury cost us a bit more. You can visit for less if you want.
Lesson learned: Think about the environment, avoid plastic. Don't pollute the environment yourself, influence others too.
