Nilachal and Meghlakathan at sunset
Today is the last day of the first tour of Bandarban. Meanwhile, Bagalek, Shrimp Springs, Rizhuk Springs, Nilgiris, Chimbuk Hills and cliffs are over. I booked a bus ticket to Dhaka at 9.30 pm. I took a light nap in the afternoon because I had to get up in the morning and go to Nilgiris. The beauty of the Nilgiris is still there, even in my sleep I feel like I have discovered myself in the Nilgiris. From twelve o'clock in the afternoon till two o'clock in the afternoon, I recovered after a long sleep. Plan to go to Nilachal in the afternoon.
I woke up and went out to eat fresh with a friend. Walking around, I realized that there was no good food hotel open, so I just sat there. I had lunch for 120 rupees. After lunch I walked to the market and had tea at the tong shop. Busy Bandarban did not look bad at all with lazy sleepy eyes. But the next time I came to Bandarban, I didn't make the mistake of looking for a food hotel. Just a little further from the bridge, there was a small canteen-like shop where rice and meat could be had for less than 100 rupees, and the taste was good enough.
The kingdom of clouds is in Nilachal
Everyone came back to the hotel and got ready. You have to get out quickly or the sunset of Nilachal will be lost. If you cross the bridge in front of the hotel, there is a stand for the moon car, so there was no problem to get the car. At first I looked at the CNG because the people around me said that Nilachal is very close, you can easily go by CNG. However, since it is not possible for 12 people to go by CNG, I turned my attention to Chander's car. Asked if he would go to Nilachal, a driver of Chander's car said he would go, the fare was 900 rupees. We set off for Nilachal with 800 rupees.
On the way stop at another place, named Meghla. Cloudy is a park special. It takes a ticket to get into it. But we all felt like there was nothing but a hanging bridge in the clouds. There are only a few cars, but I have not seen anyone riding in them. Cloudy with a fairly large area but most of it is not possible to go. There is no way but to see the Sangu river and the mountains flowing from afar. If you want to spend time alone with your family, you can go to Meghla, but if you want to go around, it will not take more than half an hour to go around.
The twilight of Nilachal,
We came out of the cloud after a while. The moon's car began to climb up the winding road. Almost all of the good places I have visited have winding roads. However, the road in Nilachal is much better than other roads in Bandarban. Looked good at least two years ago, I don't know how it is now. It did not take more than forty minutes to reach Nilachal. I got out of the moon car and went upstairs quickly because there were only a few minutes left until sunset.
There is a beautiful staircase to go up to Nilachal. There are houses built on it to watch the sunset better. Not only sunset, Nilachal is one of the most beautiful sunrises in Bangladesh. I don't know what title I will give to describe the terrifying beautiful sunset I saw from Nilachal. I don't even want to know, I will just say this. There is a lot of crowd to watch the sunset, but just at sunset the silence prevails in the place as if it is the creation of Nilachal for this moment.
As we see the sunset in the desert sky in different movies, the sunset in Nilachal is a lot like that. In the middle of the dark red sky, a huge fireball is saying goodbye at the end of the day. After crossing the Tepantar, the sun transcends the redness in the Nilachal where there is an opportunity to watch the sunrise or sunset from different places. From here the whole city of Bandarban can be seen with the naked eye. The whole of Bandarban looks like a small dot of light. It is very nice to see the whole of Bandarban through the eyes of a bird, like the stars in the sky, the half-gorgeous semi-ordinary Bandarban lit up in the twinkling light is always an analogy of uniqueness.
I looked around the whole place. The beauty of the back can be best enjoyed from a place like an open balcony with a wooden border. Vast hills and mountains can be seen looking down. As the height of Nilachal is not low, there is a lot of wind in the place. The gentle breeze of the afternoon was multiplying the amount of Nilachal's liking. We sat and chatted for a long time in the seats. There is a beautiful place to sit under the tree, ten or twelve people can sit comfortably and get up in the joy of youth. Slowly the evening began to descend on the chest of Nilachal. This enchanting view of the sunset forces us all to sit still in one place.
As evening began to fall we decided to go back. Twilight intoxication is still in the eyes. From Nilachal, go down the stairs to the plain and go straight to the place where the car is parked. I stood in Nilachal till the whole place was dark, I saw all the lights of Bandarban city shining brightly.
At the end we all drove to Bandarban Sadar. I went back to the hotel with a total of Rs 1,400 including round trip to the driver. Freshened up, I ate dinner under the hotel and got on the bus at half past nine. The bus is moving along the winding road again, the Beatles' yellow submarine is ringing in my ears. Ah! These times cannot be held, the good times are like sand, not caught in the palm of the hand. If these tours could be boxed, I would buy a thousand such boxes. When the bus crossed Chittagong, I know how the inside of the chest got up. I promised in my heart, I will come back to Bandarban again. I will come again.
