Miles of golden sand, tall cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, vibrant pagodas, Buddhist temples, and tribes may all be found in Cox's Bazar. The most alluring tourist destination in Bangladesh, rich in natural resources. Cox's Bazar is one of the most alluring tourist destinations in the world, with the longest uninterrupted 120 km coastline sloping gently down to the turquoise seas of the Bay of Bengal against the magnificent backdrop of a chain of hills covered in deep green woods.
The lengthy seashore's attractions include the sea's silvery waves smashing at the base of hills at high tides, sea bathing, a jeep ride along the beach, views of the setting sun reflected in the rolling waves, the moonlit night, and the fascinating Bazar and its inhabitants. A traveler is surprised by the seductive call of the perilous sampans (boats), the waterfall, the jungle, and the artistic pagodas. One can go to this lush, flower-filled dreamland, which is located 152 kilometers south of Chittagong, via air, road, and sea from that city as well as by air from Dhaka. Lieutenant Cox, who passed away here in 1798 after founding a colony of Mags, is the name of the town.
Himchari, 18 km south of Cox's Bazar along the sea beach is a nice place for picnic spot and film shooting. The famous 'Broken Hills' and waterfalls are located here. Another attraction is the row of 'Christmas trees.'
On the main road to Chittagong, about 10 kilometers from Cox's Bazar, is the Buddhist village of Ramu. It is home to monasteries, khyangs, and pagodas that house Buddha statues made of gold, bronze, and other metals that have been inlaid with precious stones. On the banks of the Baghkhali River is one of these temples, which is among the most intriguing. In addition to intriguing artifacts and Burmese handicrafts, it also contains a massive bronze Buddha statue that is thirteen feet tall on an alter that is six feet high. Sonadia is a sandy island that is roughly 9 square kilometers in size and located 7 kilometers off the coast of Cox's Bazar. Fishermen establish temporary camps on the island throughout the winter and dry their sea-fish catches there.
A 268 square kilometre island off the coast of Cox's Bazar is called Moheskhali. A series of low hills, each about 300 feet high, rise through the island's center and along its eastern coastline, although the west and north coasts are low-lying areas surrounded by mangrove forests. The Adinath a shrine sits here, and it's the island's most beautiful location, especially during Falgun, the festival month (Bengali month).
| Teknaf, a pleasant area on the western side of the Naaf Rivers, is a small township located 80 kilometers south of Cox's Bazar. The southernmost point of Bangladesh's main land is an ideal tourist destination with cozy lodging options like motels and well-appointed hilltop Forest Bungalows. Picnic, boating, and other amenities are also accessible to visitors. On the other side of the Naaf River is Myanmar. There are a lot of Arakenese Maghs here. The most alluring activity in this area is a trip on the river, where one may witness wild creatures and birds. On either side of the river, there are tall hills covered in lush forests, and the reflection of the view in the glistening river below is really beautiful. |
The country's longest coral island, St. Martin's Island, is located in the Bay of Bengal about 25 kilometers from the Teknaf. During the winter when the sea is calm, the island can be accessed from Teknaf by trawler, ship, or power boat. The locals called the island "Narikel Jingira," which translates to "Coconut Island," and it was named after a British governor named Mr. Martin. Few thousand Muslims live in a straightforward community on this tiny coral island. They are descended from 13 families who came to this area around the year 1000. They work in agriculture and fishing.
A journey to Chhera Dip, a different tiny island close to St. Martin island. During high tide, it separates from St. Martin and is visible through water that is about 20 feet deep and translucent, where living corals can be seen. It is the only location in Bangladesh where living coral can be seen.
The "mathin's kup" is the part of Teknaf that tourists find most fascinating (well). The fabled Mathin well is located in the grounds of the Teknaf police station, which receives a large number of tourists each day.
The enthralling tale between Mathin, the daughter of a Mogh monarch, and Dinraj Bhattacharya—at the time the officer in charge of the Teknaf police station and a well-known writer and performer in this region—and its terrible conclusion are associated with Mathin's kup-well.
Every afternoon, Mathin would come here with her friends to draw water from the well for amusement. Dinraj at that point started to love her. However, the Mogh monarch forbade him from marrying his one and only daughter, who belonged to the Hindu community. But eventually, love triumphed, and the king accepted the marriage proposal. However, Dinraj Bhattacharya's father telegraphed Dinraj to fly to Calcutta right away to visit his dying father. Dinraj departed for Calcutta and never returned to Teknaf. After being mildly horrified by Dinraj boarding the ship for Calcutta, Mathin stopped eating. Mathin's relatives were unable to force her to consume any food or water.
It is not a tale or a work of fiction. In his well-known book, Jokhon Police Chilam, author-actor Dinraj Bhattacharya accurately conveyed this fact. In his renowned work, he correctly identified this as Mathin as well.
Since Mathin and Dinraj Bhattacharya's actual love tale has become something of a folk legend, it has become a popular tourist destination.
