Suitable time for visit

The best time for visit here are November and February in the time of winter. During this time the remains calm so that people can swim and many other activities. In Bangladesh winter is the tourist season so it is wise if you book hotels and transportation. In monsoon the transportation services may delay due to rain. So, if you want to avoid rain winter is the best time to visit.

Best way to get to Saint Martin

There are two ways to reach St Martin. Firstly reach to Teknaf and book a ship named Keari  Sindbad or Keari Cruise which takes two hours to reach St Martin. The second way is Shampan which is  too risky. So, avoid Shampan is a wise decision.

Sharing own experience
A memorable trip which stole my heart. The journey was started by a ship from Teknaf with my family at  the month of November. After we had reached we stayed at a hotel in front of the beach. I had spent a  peaceful time and enjoy the natural beauty of the sea. Sometime I recall the moments like – cycling on  the beach, enjoying the sunset, the taste of fresh seafood etc. I also saw a Jelly fish which was beautiful.  The night sky was a magical experience for me. The sky was full of stars which were sparkling and the  full moon was covered by the sparkling stars. Moreover, I also visited the cheradep which was the most  scenic place I saw. Also, I met with the locals and visited the traditional local market. Then I saw the  “Shomudro
bilash” the house of Dr.Humayun Ahmed which is located on Daruchinidep. Overall, the  memories are unforgettable and the experienced pleased me a lot.

  I have working parents. Since childhood,I used to stay alone in my house,playing with my toys,waiting for my parents to come home. When they came they used to be very tired, they could not give me that much time. It often makes me sad. That was the reason, I used to love going to school. Because there were my friends with whom I spent some joyful yet challenging times. Looking back at the end of the day,it feels like it would have been nice to relive those days again. Friends hold great significance in my life because there are many days I might not have been able to get through without them. All in all,it is not possible to express it in just a few lines.

Designing My Dream Home: A Personal Journey into Interior Design

Designing My Dream Home: A Personal Journey into Interior Design Since I was 4, I dreamed of living in a self-designed home. Growing up in a joint family, it was pretty hard to find an appropriate living space. Though the making of our now sweet home was a 2 years lengthy process, I enjoyed and learned from every bit of this experience.   People usually find a reliable interior designing company and handover the whole project to them. But my father trusted my vision and let me handle the whole thing with full freedom and authority.  I wanted to make a blank canvas to a dream abode with my own creativity. So, I decided to assign an interior architect who helped me to guide through this journey while I had my full interference in this whole project.   Initially, the architect in charge, provided me a 3D layout of the whole house. And that is where my work began. I took the draft as my guideline and started looking for materials with the help of the interior arch...

Chasing Horizons: Off The Beaten Path

“ At that moment, when I finally reached the peak of Keokradong after five hours of tracking, the first thing that came to my mind was that I had been living the life that I always wanted to be in. The mild breeze and the calmness at the peak melted away the hardships of tracking and filled my heart with peace. ” From childhood, I have been an energetic and restless person, who loves to travel and loves to introduce new people. It started back then when I was a little kid when my parents used to visit me in different places, which made me happy from childhood. While growing up I have visited many places in Bangladesh and  started from visiting tourist spots to visiting different cities, historical places, Hills tracks, and so on. Traveling is an ongoing process of life. I always keep a quote in my mind that is, ” You only live once ”.For this reason, I believe that we don't need to live much longer, rather we need to live our lives the way we love to live, and this is my philosophy...
