Lalakhal, Jaintiapur, Sylhet ( লালাখাল, জৈন্তাপুর, সিলেট )

A trip to Lalakhal

Lalakhal is definitely the place you want to visit, I swear. The most amazing thing about this place is its crystal green water. This place is also surrounded by the mountains of Meghalaya. You will actually get an exotic feeling.

We took a bus to reach Sarighat which is 42 km away from the city center. From Sarighat you can hire a boat to reach Lalakhal. You can also go to Lalakhal by Micro Bus or Private car. But if you do so, you will not be able to see the actual beauty of this place which is along the waterway.

It is better to start the trip in the morning and carry your lunch with you.

The boat journey will take only one hour to reach the Lalakhal. Local boats can be hired from Sarighat within Tk. 1800 while the special boats of Nazimgarh Boat Station can cost even Tk. 4000.

Apart from the soothing sight of the Sari river, I remember this place for one more reason. It is the taste of the tube well water from the nearby village. It is obviously the best drinking water on earth. You can check it out...

On our way back we also visited the Haripur Gas field. You must visit it if you have enough time. Here you can literally set fire on water.

And don't forget to take your camera with you.

Patenga Sea Beach ( পতেঙ্গা সমুদ্র সৈকত )

Patenga, Chittagong, Bangladesh

Patenga has a narrow sea beach compared to the beach in Cox's Bazar. But you will not feel bored as long as you hear the same roaring sound and see the same sandy beach. But we were unlucky. The water level was higher and had covered the whole beach. We literally spent the whole time sitting on the concrete blocks.

Some boys were hanging around with Guitar and DSLR to capture tourists' beautiful moments in exchange for money. Some small stalls were selling food items. You probably know that Patenga is famous for mouth watering street foods at very low costs especially for the mud crabs. There were also speed boats for visitors.

What I liked the most is the ship horns. You will not hear this in Cox's Bazar. I found it kinda cool.

Most amazing thing about Patenga Beach is it's stunning sunsets and sunrises. But as it was a sudden and very short trip without any plan we couldn't manage to enjoy it. But next time if we go there it will be the priority, I promise..
