First of all let me say we were 6 members in total.
On 26/11/2019, at 10:30 pm, our journey started from Dhaka Arambagh.
Due to the pressure of the tourists, even after buying the tickets 5 days ago, I could not get all the seats together ,,!
However, in the end, 6 tickets for Unique Transport were arranged.
We reached Bandarban around 4:45 in the morning.
Arriving very early in the morning we had to wait for some time for the morning light ,,!
In the meantime, we have not had breakfast
We were always worried about not fixing the up-and-down moon car for Bagalek in front of us!
Since we were less in number, we thought that if we could find a group like ours, we would fix the moon car together.
It is no longer necessary that we get the moon car in our budget!
There were enough reasons for the car rental to be lower.
The car left for Bagalek and met us on the way!
Let me tell you in advance that this may not always be the case!
So rent a car in advance.
At 5:30 in the morning, 6 of us left for Bagalek.
I reached Ruma Bazaar in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Since we haven't been there before, a lot of things went wrong for us.
We talked to the Rumabazar Guide Association and hired a guide from there to stay in Bagalek for one night and Keokradong for one night.
Guide fare 2700 ৳ + (cost of living)
Guide Nayan Da.
We liked his use as a guide.
You have to take permission from Ruma Bazar Army Camp. You will do all the work as your guide; you will only help him.
After taking permission, I didn't buy everything I needed to do bbq at night from Rumabazar.
Nayan Da helped us with all the work of the market and bar BQ.
On the way, I entered the Ruma Bazar police outpost and left for Bagalek;
I reached Bagalek between 10-20 am.
On the way and several times, including Bagalek, the name had to be entered by the army.
Sometimes it seemed that I came to visit or to enter the name.
The view I saw of Bagalek from the top of the hill is amazing.
Arriving at Bagalek Army Camp I entered the name; then left the bag in the cottage; Whenever I went to the verandah, my eyes widened.
Because our room was next to the lake which is why we could see the whole beauty of the lake sitting on the verandah.
In the meantime Nayan Da brings us mountain pepe.
What a taste he is.
However,
I went to the bank of Bagalek and took a bath. (If you don't know how to swim, take a bath with a mug).
Meanwhile, Nayan Da arranged our lunch here at Siam Didi.
After eating, I turned around a bit.
At night, bbq, tea, songs, chats; everything seemed to pass the time like a story.
The next day on the way to Keokradong
We get up very early the next day, because we have to go about 13 km
Path, Tao walks again.
I woke up in the morning and went to the bank of Bagalek. The foggy Bagalek is beautiful. After having tea, the photo session went on for a while. In the morning, rice, khichuri and banana-biscuits are available at Bagalek.
We had breakfast.
At night, I started trekking in a small bag with the necessary things for spending the night at Keokradong. I left the big bag with the armpits and started trekking. Your guide will make arrangements for keeping the bags.
Before you start trekking for the purpose of Keokradong, take the necessary water, saline and any light food of your choice.
While on the way you can see some of the hills sitting temporarily with papaya, banana, orange, water.
The trekking started; I started walking in the fog and winding path of the mountains.
After walking for an hour, I reached the shrimp fountain. After spending some time there, I started walking again. There is no need to walk continuously; walk slowly with time. Take rest for 5 minutes after half an hour.
Start walking from the shrimp fountain and after 1 hour you reach a place (I forgot the name). There you will find hill papaya, banana, different kinds of sherbet. I got a lot less papaya, banana and it is very fresh.
From there start trekking again ... then reach Darjeeling neighborhood.
An impossibly beautiful, well-arranged village.
Arriving there we ate banana, pineapple, papaya tea biscuits and did not rest for a while.
Because we will have lunch in Darjeelingpara.
We told our guide Nayan Da that we would eat Bambchiken, so he talked to Lemon Dar in Darjeelingpara the night before and arranged for our lunch in Darjeeling.
After having lunch in Darjeeling, we started walking for our real destination Keokradong. We reached Keokradong in 50 minutes. We took about 5 hours to come to Keokradong from Bagalek. We stopped on the way. It is possible to get up in. 5 hours.
Arriving there, I entered the names of all the people in the army camp. There is a bath at Keokradong for 50 rupees.
Although we took a bath at Lemon Dar in Darjeelingpara for free.
Freshened up, I went to the helipad with some rest; I was there till sunset. Then I went to the top; by that time the sky was full of stars;
You will see so many stars there that it will feel as if the whole sky is covered with stars.
And if you notice very well you will sometimes see meteors.
In the cold of Kankon, everyone huddled and chatted, tea and as soon as they saw each other, it was time for dinner. After dinner, they went to the room and started chatting again with a blanket.
I woke up in the morning to watch the sunrise. The raft of the clouds below and the sunrise above it; all in all an illusion was created.
After breakfast with bread and tea, check out at Army Camp; Saying goodbye to Keokradong, I started to go down.
Asi left Bagale in three and a quarter hours; by that time our moon car had also left. Freshened up, with the bag; Asi signed at Bagalek's army camp and left for Ruma Bazar.
After saying goodbye, Asi left for Bandarban town.
Come to Bandarban city, have fresh lunch and go out to see Bandarban city.
The place known as the Golden Temple (Buddhist metal jadi) in the city of Bandarban has a good time.
From there we spend our evening.
Since our bus is at 9:30 pm, the rest of the time we go around Bandarban city; we go to the Burmese market and do our shopping.
Our bus was at 9.30 pm. Tickets were already booked. After eating, we got on the bus. The next morning, by the grace of Allah, we reached Dhaka after a beautiful tour.
