Making a local connection Bangladesh

Cox's Bazar (Bengali: কক্সবাজার) is a town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide sandy beach which is the world's longest natural sandy sea beach. It is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope. It is located 150 km south of Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is also known by the name "Panowa", Cox's Bazar is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh. How I go Cox bazaar The transportation system of cox bazar is extremely fine. Government took good initiatives to make the Dhaka to Cittagong and Chittagong to Coxbazar more stunning and wide. I enjoy the natural beauty of Bangladesh so i choose the Chair Coach to go to Chittagong First. It is a sorrowful matter that there is no direct bus service from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar. It is better to rent a car which will drive you directly to the Cox’s Bazar so i choose it. Sea Beach at hassle free along with taking less time. Tourists and accommodation Cox's Bazar, arguably the most popular tourist spot in Bangladesh, is visited by a large number of tourist. Many private hotels, BPC Motels and two "Five star" hotels are located on or near the beach. I choice a Five star hotel. Coxbazar, the world’s largest sandy beach is not only for worth visiting but also a lot of places can daze by their beauty, rarity and uniqueness. There are several most famous sea beach point which are the most crowded area and peoples are usually goes there. Laboni Beach: Laboni beach is considered as the main beach area of Cox’s Bazar as is at the central location and close to town. The beach is always crowded by tourists. Visitors can sunbathe, surf, jog, cycle, and swim. It is best for swimming and relaxation. Numerous souvenir shops around the area can attract tourist to purchase the souvenirs, beach accessories and some other stuffs. Inani beach is famous for its golden sand. Attraction: Backdrop of lush green hills rising up on the east. The sea stretching out endlessly to the west. Unusual shaped rock and coral boulders scattered lavishly in the beach and trough the sea. Fringed with tall palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Seashells of different colors, shapes, and sizes are found along here. Calm lagoon which is wonderful for the little ones to paddle in. Getting on the rock & coral boulders with the waves washing up on the shore around you, will be an extremely therapeutic experience. Beachcombing. Shark free water is suitable for sea bathing. Note: Every year numerous foreign and local tourists come here to spend their leisure in Inani Beach. However, it lacks several amenities that visitors can expect. It is wise to take a packed lunch and water with you when you visit the beach. But those people who have taken the time to explore the beach can testify that its beauty and cool breeze far outweighs anything it might be lacking in amenities. When visiting Inani Beach, ensure you have camera along to capture the amazing sight of the sun setting over the sea. Himchari is one of the most attractive places for the visitors. Journey to Himchari is also exciting because the road to Himchari runs by the lovely green hills on one side and open blue sea on the other side. The scenery of the two side of the road pleased all. Location: Located 12 km south of Cox’s Bazar Town and 6 km from the Kalatali beach by the hill. Beautiful Waterfall: The amazing waterfall of Himchari is a very rare scene to enjoy. The waterfall from the green hill is relatively extraordinary to look at. However, in the winter it dwindles whereas in the rainy season it is really wonderful and full waterfall could be enjoyed. The spot is ideal for picnic, shooting, relaxing and sunbathing. But whenever you have sunbathing locals can rush around you as Bangladeshis’ are not used to see women in swim costume. Here you get beautiful hilltop resort centre where you can stay for relaxing and can hear the shore of the Bay of Bengal.
