Sonadia Island Travel Details.
I had been planning to go to a noise free place with my friends for a long time. I chose Sonadia Island after finding many people and reviews. We went to Chittagong and there were 6 of them. After getting with them, the tour has become more frozen.
Anyway, let’s start with the description of the tour,
We started our journey from Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University. Our Dampara bus station is very close from here. It costs 5 TK per person. But our bus was at 2 pm. So we reserved CNG. The fare is 100 rupees. Then take a bus from there to Cox’s Bazar Kalatali Beach Point (250 rupees per person). We walk from Kalatali to Sugandha Beach (but it costs 10 rupees per person by car). We finish breakfast there (cost 40 rupees per person). I took an autorickshaw from Sugandha Beach to Ghat No. 8 (I reserved an auto, the fare is 100 rupees). From Ghat No. 8 I took a speedboat to Maheshkhali Ghat (fare is 75 rupees per person. But if you go by trawler it costs 30 rupees). Take off your jacket and go to the ghat to enjoy the waves of the sea. The place of the ghat is called Ghorkata. From here you will take an autorickshaw to Ghotadanga (rent 40 rupees per person). 30). Sonadia is divided into two neighborhoods. One is the western neighborhood and the other is the eastern neighborhood. Everyone goes to the western neighborhood. Let’s get on the trawler around 11 o’clock. Our trawler ran towards Sonadia after tearing the chest of the sea. Mangrove forest around and our trawler in the middle. After boarding the trawler for about an hour, we reached our destination Sonadia at around 12 o’clock. Before going there, we contacted one of the people there. His name is Gias. Although he works in Dhaka. If we tell him, he manages everything. We have not received such a good reception anywhere..everyone in the family is very good.
Stay and eat:
Gias told his brother that we rented 3 tents. The rent was 350 rupees each and 2 people could stay in each of them. Dei..and the meal was arranged at Gias Bhai’s house. We paid 500 rupees per person for 3 meals. The food was given to us unlimited. And Bhabhi’s cooking is very good.I got 4 shops in their neighborhood..there can be breakfast. It is better to take bread, banana, or biscuits. There is a tube well for drinking water on the island.
Travel:
After eating, we went out to tour the island. Zhaoban near the cyclone center. We went there and spread dry leaves on the sand for a long time. It was very sunny outside. I fell asleep in Zhaobane due to being very tired. I woke up and went to the beach. Red crab scattering. They are much more beautiful in number. I could not control my greed after seeing the beach and the sea water so clear. I came back to their house before evening after bathing in the middle. There are 12 of us (including that group). We lit a fire at night, everyone was chatting and singing together .. the sound of the sea next to us and 12 people are talking .. you can’t feel the matter if you are not there.
Return turn:
The next morning after breakfast I left for Ghotadanga in the same trawler .. I returned the rest of the way as before ..
