A journey within Bangladesh

by Shah Amanat

Created on: March 02, 2009

Every journey leaves some memories. Some are good and some are bitter. But I'm not going to share the bitter experiences of mine. At first let me introduce myself. My nick is Aman and I'm very fun loving guy who likes traveling. If I'm traveling the same place twice or thrice I'd like to take different route or different transit. It makes my experience bigger. In my every journey I need a different taste.

Though I'm a permanent resident of United States, my motherland is Bangladesh. Last year I went to Bangladesh for five months. And I gathered a lot of experience over there. Now I'm going to share one of the journeys of my Bangladesh trip.

My home town is Khulna in Bangladesh. Actually that is a Divisional town. Lets come to my journey. Everyday.. Everyday we went for different journeys. In the 12th January of this year Me, My Niece, Her husband, one of my friend and my Sister in law went for morning walk then suddenly I planned for going to see a place named "Chandramahal". That is made by Mr. Amanullah Selim inspired by "Tajmahal". So we fixed the next day. Then we got one rebel. My sister-in-law; She did not want to go. But we were not the group who going to give up. Next day morning we just started the journey with two Motorcycles from Shibbari More. At first we filled up the gas tank then started for the invention. It was having lots of fun while we were climbing Rupsha Bridge. Without taking any break we went to the home named "ChandraMahal". Fantastic thinking and excellent personal achievement! Once upon a time everybody should go there who live in Bangladesh. No tickets no entry fees Do not need any special permission. Anybody can visit there without any appointment. Though the owner told us that It'll take some more time to complete fully. It was a fantastic journey till there. But we never knew our journey was just started from there.

After taking taste of eye we got a caf there and chatting between us about the artistic works. Actually we were praising about what we saw. Then suddenly Russell (Husband of my niece) told us he never went to Mongla (Sea port of Bangladesh) so I got another chance to travel. And we started then it was 2.00pm with in 1 hour running the bike we reached Mongla. Suddenly Russell told that one of his colleagues is here in the Navy Base Camp (I should inform now that Russell is Captain of Bangladesh Army) the name of the Camp is Digraj. We went and were looking around. Then we went to the coast guards base camp and got a speed board what they arranged for us to go to Sunderban (The largest mangrove forest in the world).

Then we started to Sunderban. It was amazing journey by speed boat. With in half an hour we reached in Koromjol point of Sunderban. That is a point for viewers who want to watch Sunderban from its inside. I bought 2kgs of original honey from there. I got the cheapest honey from there. We all four went inside then. The two soldier of coast guard was outside then. I proved Charles Darwin's theory of evolution for some times. I climbed upon a tree then I saw some monkeys over there. I got afraid! And do lots of fun over there. There is Crocodile produced something right now I couldn't remember.

At last before evening comes we returned from there. When we reached Mongla again it was nearly Dark. Then we got back to the road of Khulna with a good memory. But while returning the road was full dark and insects disturbed us a lot. Because we were on a bike. After returning we went to the coffee shop of a new market and discussed tomorrows plan.
