Time is of the essence. All the children and old people have left the house. You have to go somewhere. Cox’s Bazar and Sajek are the most popular tourist destinations under pressure. But it is not possible for everyone to travel so far, right? Children do not have school holidays, but adults do not have office or business holidays. In this busy season of wandering, do you just have to see the pictures of other people’s happy travels on Facebook at home?
But in a hurry, I wanted to go out and I don’t have that condition now. It is almost impossible to get a bus seat in a remote area. There will be no place to stay now. The biggest thing is that now that there is an overflow of tourists everywhere, the traders are pushing for double the rent by showing the thumbs up to this formula of ‘prices fall when demand increases’. Harassment is happening especially in hotel room, boat and moon car rentals. The way then?
Even at that time, you can go out on a day trip with only 500 rupees. When taken with family or friends, these costs will come down further on average per capita. Come back from Kalakopa in Nawabganj. The icy air of the river and all the traditional ancient installations together with these two will give your eyes the peace of going to nature as well as the closeness of history.
Kalakopa is basically a village in Dohar. The name is not very well known yet. So there is no crowd of extra people. Bandura, a village near Kalakopar. It will take you about 2 hours to reach here.

Home of Mr. Babu Loknath Saha
This house is known as Mathbari or Telibari. The huge house is still intact. However, the new color on the walls of the house proves that care is enough. That must be because the house now houses the 29th Ansar Battalion. It is heard that Loknath Babu was in the oil business. Since then the name Telibari. This is Telibari with a few buildings. In particular, the Telibari Mahal on the banks of the Ichhamati attracts the attention of travelers.

Temple of Goddess Mahamaya
Kalakopa – Another notable monument of Bandura is the temple of Mahamaya Devi. Surprisingly, no goddess is worshiped in this temple. Worship is the trunk of an ancient tree. The tree was brought in to build a house. But when it comes to cutting, disaster strikes. Blood comes out from the trunk of a dead tree. Hindus consider the tree sacred and build a temple around it. The temple, established in 1335, is still standing today.
