Historical Place In Bangladesh
The following scenes will appear as you land Jaflong. The workers are working hard to collect the best stones available, while we go and have a pleasure trip beside them.The waterfall at Madhobkunda is a must see place in Sylhet. Though the journey to Madhabkunda is a tiresome one, all your sorrows are sure to wash away just at the site of this beautiful fall. Hey check this out? There were 'matir ghor' or clay-made houses there... hmm that explains where the Bangla Cinema ppl go for shooting village scenes... I used to think they really go to villages... This pic explains aloot! There were too many ppl everywhere.. so I cudnt take a full-view of it cos i wanted to avoid ppl. This is a building which is called the 7 Heavens!! The Buddhists believe this is their 7 Heavens! It's a seven storey building with a name for each storey. The names are so tough I wasn't able to memorize them
There is a stair that leads to the 3rd floor. It takes three hours to go and another three hours to come back from Madhabkunda. And all you see is just a fall? NOO. IT's more than just a fall and you have to be there to understand what I mean. But believe me, it's worth it! Last December I had the chance to visit Sylhet, located in the North-East of Bangladesh, along the borders of India. Sylhet is well known for its tea gardens, the Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal (RA), its splendid scenic beauty with hills standing firm in the horizon and to add to it- the extreme cold in its air. Kuakata Kuakata, locally known as Sagar Kannya (Daughter of the Sea) is a rare scenic beauty spot on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh. Kuakata in Latachapli union under Kalapara Police Station of Patuakhali district is about 30 km in length and 6 km in breadth. It is 70 km from Patuakhali district headquarters and 320 km from Dhaka.At Kuakata excellent combination of the picturesque natural beauty, sandy beach, blue sky, huge expanse of water of the Bay and evergreen forest in really eye-catching. From its seashore you can watch both sunrise and sunset. The coconut trees increase the scenic beauty of this seashore.The main tourist season is in winter but all over the year tourists visit this placeIn Kuaka you can visit the life style of tribe Rakhains,
who are very friendly to the tourist and visitors.You can visit Buddhist Temple where you can see the statue of Goutom Buddha and two wells of 200 years old. Local name of the well is Kua and Kata is a local name of digging a well; so was the name Kuakata. Fisherman village is another place where you can visit and watch the lifestyle of the Fisherman. If you are adventurous you may also go for fishing on the fishing boat if you can manage the local fishermen.

If you are adventurous you may also go for fishing on the fishing boat if you can manage the local fishermen.
That will give you pleasure and experience, which you won?t be able to gather from anywhere else. In the fishermen village you will find the fishermen coming back from the fishing and you can purchase some fresh Hilsha fish from them, and by the side of village there are some local restaurants from where you can get the Hilshas cooked and ready for eating. You will remember the wonderful taste of the fresh Hilshas of Kuakata for a long time. From Kuakata you can visit to a part of the great Sundarban forest, which is called Gangamoti Reserve Forest. Don?t forget to visit Fatra?s Chor another tourist place nearby Kuakata. Kuakata is one of the rarest places, which has the unique beauty of offering the full view of the rising and setting of crimson sun in the water of the Bay of Bengal in a calm environment. That perhaps makes Kuakata one of the world's unique beaches. The long and wide beach at Kuakata has a typical natural setting. This sandy beach has gentle slopes into the Bay of Bengal and bathing there is as pleasant as is walking or diving.Kuakata is truly a virgin beach-a sanctuary for migratory winter birds, a series of coconut trees, sandy beach of blue Bay, a feast for the eye. Forest, boats plying in the Bay of Bengal with colorful sails, fishing, towering cliffs, surfing waves everything here touches every visitor's heart. The unique customs and costumes of the 'Rakhyne' tribal families and Buddhist Temple of about hundred years old indicate the ancient tradition and cultural heritage, which are objects of great pleasure Kuakata is the place of pilgrimage of the Hindus and Buddhist communities. Innumerable devotees arrive here at the festival of 'Rush Purnima' and 'Maghi Purnima'. On these two days they take holy bath and traditional fairs are held here. All these additional offers to panoramic beauty make the beach more attractive to the visitors. One should visit Kuakata and discover the lovely grace of Bangladesh
Bangladeshi Historical Place Cox's Bazar
Cox's Bazar is one of the most attractive tourist spots & the longest sea beach in the world (approx. 120 km long). Miles of golden sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist temples and tribes, delightful seafood--this is Cox's Bazar, the tourist capital of Bangladesh. If you are really adventurous and want to enjoy the wildness and madness of the ruff and tuff Sea you can come to Cox's bazar in the month of mid April, Sea continue its wildness till August; and its even more exotic if you come to Cox's Bazar in the time of depression of the Sea. Sundarban is the world biggest mangrove forest. In Bangladesh tourism, Sundarban plays the most vital role. A large number of foreigners come to Bangladesh every year only to visit this unique mangrove forest. Besides, local tourists also go to visit Sundarban every year. The area of great Sundarban is approximately 6000 sq. km. General Information about Sudarban: AREA: Nearly 2400 sq. miles or 6000 sq. km
FOREST LIMITS: North-Bagerhat, Khulna and Sathkira districts : South-Bay of Bengal; East-Baleswar (or Haringhata) river, Perojpur, Barisal district, and West-Raimangal and Hariabhanga rivers which partially form Bangladesh boundary with West Bengal in India The Sundarbans are the largest littoral mangrove belt in the world, stretching 80km (50mi) into the Bangladeshi hinterland from the coast. Paharpur Buddhist Monastery is another tourist attraction of North Bengal. Paharpur is a small village 5 km. west of Jamalganj in the greater Rajshahi district. You can go to Paharpur from Jaipur district. This 7th century archaeological find covers approximately an area of 27 acres of land.The entire establishment, occupying a quadrangular court, measuring more than 900 ft. externally on each side, has high enclosure- walls about 16 ft. in thickness and from 12 ft. to 15 ft. height. With elaborate gateway complex on the north, there are 45 cells on the north and 44 in each of the other three sides with a total number of 177 rooms. Pics from Jaflong, the beauty queen of Sylhet. It appeared to me that Jaflong is more attractive than any other part of Sylhet. The following pic is taken on the way to Jaflong. It's best if you can start for Jaflong early in the morning, and these clouds playing on the hilltop will create a wonderful welcoming ceremony for you on the way.
