The huge space is empty. Then everyone will sing and you will discover that you have reached your destination. '

Whatever you see in Chandpur

You can go down to Chandpur and take a walk around the area for some time. There is no shortage of places to visit. And don't come to Chandpur and return home without eating hilsa. Although now it is difficult to find the real Chandpur Hilsa. But if you are lucky, you may be able to taste Rupali Hilsa. There are several restaurants in the vicinity of the launch dock. If you want you can go to Kalibari corner and eat. Eating after the launch journey would be awesome in a word. Try to keep it light with some food.

Which you will see

Then go straight to the big station, walk ten minutes to reach, I think people need to come to this place at least once in their life. Even writing such a great place may or may not make sense. The confluence of the three rivers Padma, Meghna and Dakatiya is a big station. Once you go there, you will see a very tidy park. A little further on, you will see a boat next to the park. Bargain on the boat and get up, it will take 100 hours. Visit a number of places, all three rivers are milanmela but all three rivers can be separated. But don't forget to get into the water, there are impossible currents in the estuary. Then arrive at the pier at 9 o'clock. Light breakfast (can come 30tk.), then to Dhaka. You will reach Sadarghat by 2 o'clock. Then Panthapath by bus (20tk.). Looking at the wallet, I know how your mind can be filled with self-satisfaction. There will be 50tk. left in your pocket, you can enter the house after drinking a cup of colored tea.

Food and Expenditure

As soon as you reach Sadarghat, you can worship the stomach with vegetables, dried mash and pulses. 80 (Vegetable-Dried Mash-Pulses-Rice) +130 (Launch Rent) +50 (Egg Fry-Whole-Tea) +100 (Boat Rent) +130 (Launch Rent) +30 (Biscuit-Banana-Tea) +25 (Bus fare) +5 (color tea) = 530 BDT.
