SAJJAD TRAVELOGUE

Have you ever imagined traveling Barisal Backwater Village Tour with your like minded boyhood friends?

Imagine a place where every house is like an island, surrounded by small tributaries of rivers or canals. No roads at all. Everyone only uses waterways for transportation. Just imagine where every house having one or two boats instead of cars. Every morning, children rowing to schools in groups and not taking school buses. After the sunrise, people go to the local market to buy necessities; someone goes to meet the people in the next door. Everything is happening by using gondola or country boats.

Well, you must be thinking that this is a description of the city of Venice. In fact, it is a description of a cluster of villages in the southern part of Bangladesh in Barisal division. Vimruli Bazar is an unknowingly famous floating guava market which is getting popular lately. Although the description of Floating Guava Market is somewhat similar to that of Venice, the identity of the area continues to grow in its own right. Today you will hear about the story of Barisal, previously known as Barishal, Backwater Village Tour in detail.

I visited Sundarbans, a couple of times. But our nomadic journey during the holidays was worth mentioning for two reasons. Using a 70-300mm lens for wildlife photography and experiencing the forest beauty by my toddler was worth recalling. In my own dictionary, I found Sundarbans as an exceptional forest.

Against all odds, I had the intention to visit Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest with my family. My friend proposed to me to take the opportunity to visit Sundarbans. He knew that I am such a person who could visit the forest anytime if I get time. My last 2 visits to Sundarbans were conducted by the same professional guided tour company. The name of the company is Bengal Tours Ltd. I can only say that they have secured our travel with utmost comforts.

Iconic Eyes of Nepal i.e. Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu always fascinated me for deserving a holiday. I took the instant decision with a modest plan to fly on the first day of 2011 with my family. For us, it has a port entry. In the chilly afternoon, we landed in the Himalayan Kingdom with awestruck. Window shopping around Thamel during evening time and meeting ex-colleague while inviting us for a dinner with family at the Turkish Restaurant was a good moment to spend. Having diverse types of Momos (dried and boiled) with soup, Turkish kebabs were mouth-watering experience in the very cold winter night in Kathmandu. Wow, I just loved the way 2011 started.

Does anyone have any idea why Bhutan has been branded as A Land of Happiness? Kingdom head sets this parameter. We could have been in the dark if we were not visited this strict yet happy country. My trip to this Buddha-land with family was worth visiting. If I give a few examples then it will be clear. First of all, Bhutan’s economic development measures by gross happiness of its fellow countrymen and not by GDP. It’s a very rare case in the world. Note, every traveler from the USA needs to pay US$250 extra to the Bhutanese government as a tax for traveling. On the other hand, Bangladeshi people have a port entry. It was made possible due to the SAARC treaty agreement. It’s free entry for Bangladeshi tourists which is a cool deal.

For most travelers, it’s not easy to be friends with strangers during the trip. Because people walk from a different culture or background. While making beautiful connections when I traveled, it was not an easy job earlier my traveling days due to shyness. But now it has become easier for me to mingle with unknown people on the road. In back those days, it used to be only my type of mentality until I get married. Later, I adapted & converted the situation of being only me to others while traveling now.

I always dreamt of visiting An American Badlands. My dream came true when my primary school buddy took me to the alienation. That’s to say, my friend, surprised me to the other side of the world by taking to the Bisti Wilderness. Petrified logs are scattered among the numerous landforms and unique geological features of this part of New Mexico. Photographers come from across the globe to capture this unique landscape, featured as an alien planet in many Hollywood movies. During our couple of hours trekking to the petrified wilderness, we lost our contact with the entire universe. Therefore, we halted the time in a futuristic world where no living creatures were seen. The hoodoos and fragile-looking grey hills turned into orange hills during the magic hours before sunrise and sunset.

Ranthambore National Park has always been the center point of wildlife enthusiasts’ den. Taking a safari to see the majestic tigers was one of the highlights for any traveler by any means. Due to the lack of fear for the tigers from human presence in vehicles, the safari has made even exciting for the tourists. I basically inspired to visit this place while I used to watch Indian naturalist Valmik Thapar’s TV episode of Land of the Tiger on Animal Planet in 2004 or 2005. Ranthambore Wildlife Enthusiasts’ Den is in Sawai Madhopor District of Rajasthan state, India. This is one of the finest places to view wild animals because it contains a huge variety of animals, birds, and reptiles within it. Ranthambore National Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1957 and it got the status of a National Park in 1981.
