Road to Khagrachori

Khagrachori the city of hills and beauty and home town of Mong king who is the head of the Arakanese descendants living in the circle is one of the most beautiful place I've ever seen. If you like hills, fountain falling from hills and forest and adventure then Khagrachori is one of the best place in Bangladesh for traveling. Khagrachori city lies in the arm of the hills.It's a beautiful city sorrounded by hills and greens. There flows a river dividing the city into two parts which is known as 'Changi' locally. I've discovered the beauty of the town through Lower Parachora,Upper Parachora,Newzeland (name of an area of the city).If you have eonugh time don't forget to take a look at the city.The nearest place for traveling from the town is Alutila.
There is an ancient cave through the foot of hill Alutila and an extra-ordinary fountain called 'Richang fountain’.It's really a life-time experience to walk through the Alutila cave. Basically these are two prime tourist spots of Khagrachori.It will take half an hour to reach the spot from the bus stand of main town. The beauty of Richang fountain is really amazing.Water falls from about 60 foot high and falls at a mild slope of rock surface of another hill. Don't miss this view .You can also visit Panchori. It is a sacred place and meditation centre for the Buddist who live here. Panchori is a good place for traveling for its natural beauty
and calmness of its solemn environment. But what really hurt me that the forest are being destroyed for this centre on the top of the hills. This should be stopped. There is a huge monument of Buddho in Panchori. It's about 40 foot high.So if you have enough time you must go to Panchori.Another wonderful palce for traveling is Marishhwa. It is a very impassable area and difficult to go.If you are energetic enough and like adventure then you can go to Marishhwa.It is near to the Indian border and rich in natural beauty. The whole destination of Marishhawa is embellished with hills after hills, trees after trees. The rise and fall of spiral way of hill tract give you a real thrill when you start for Marishhwa. The natural beauty of Marishhwa is breath taking.  For traveling Marishhwa one have to go to Dighinala-about 20 km far away from Khagrachori city by bus and from there start for Marishhwa with a heavenly(!) jeep locally called 'Chander gari'(Car from moon). There is a beautiful river through the line of hills flows in heavenly passion.You can go to Rangamati directly through this river from Khagrachori.
How to go..where to go : There are available buses for Khagrachori from Dhaka or Chittagong.In
Khagrachori there are available hotels, bangalwos or resthouses. Rent for hotels is normally 300/ per head. So travel Khagrachori and enjoy beautiful nature.
