For a long time, we all friends have been thinking that we will give a group tour together. We don't like living a boring life in the village anymore, so we all decided to visit Bhatiari Union of Sitakunda Upazila, Chittagong city. Bhatiari Lake is located there. We have never been there before. When you see Lilabhumi Bhatiari, a place of breathtaking natural beauty, you remember the poem of poet Jibananda Das. I have seen the form of Bengal, so I don't want to see the form of the world. So let's share our travel experience about Bhatiari Lake how we went there how much money was spent what sights we enjoyed so you can also visit Bhatiari Lake. How to go:- Bhatiari Union is located in the southern part of Sitakunda Upazila at a distance of only 15 km from Chittagong city. Green mountains, crystal clear lake water, army controlled golf course, Bhatiari is full of extraordinary natural diversity. The security system is also very good as the entire region is controlled by the army. Among golf clubs in Bangladesh, Bhatiari Golf and Country Club is the second biggest. Situated amidst hills and natural lakes, it's one of Sitakunda's highlights for tourists.The Bhatiari Golf Club's about 6500-yard golf course was built close to the foot of the hill. Visitors and members alike can enjoy top-notch golfing in a warm and inviting atmosphere on one of the best golf courses in the country.About eight hundred people make up this group. It is considered to be one of Bangladesh's most attractive golf courses because of the surrounding natural beauty. All year long, this location hosts a number of national and international golf competitions. There's a sculpture depicting a golfer in front of the club. A few minutes drive on the Bhatiari-Hathazari road will give the visitors a thrilling experience of the mountains. There are two lakes on both sides of the road.When the Bhatiari Lake overflows during the monsoon, tourists flock to see the spectacle. If visitors so choose, they can take a boat ride on the lake. For a set sum of money, they will also have the opportunity to go lake fishing. Here, a wide range of plant and animal species can be discovered. At the beginning of the road, there will be high and low smooth roads, zoom cultivation in the folds of the mountains, army training ground, scenic beauty of trees across the mountains, parks, golf grounds and other events. On the way, you will sometimes meet with the red and green train. There is a 'Sunset Point' open to the public run by the Bangladesh Army, where you can stand on the hill and enjoy the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. There is a beautiful lake in Bhatiari hills. Its clean green water will enchant you. If you want, you can take a little boat ride. You will see the tiller after going some distance. 'Bhatiyari Golf and Country Club' will be found at that hill bend. Bhatiari Golf and Country Club is one of the second largest clubs in Bangladesh. You can also visit here subject to permission. As you go along the road, you will see tribal villages with modern facilities, hilly jum farming. At the end of the road, you can see the modern ecopark 'Cafe 24', which has been created in harmony with the hilly nature. It includes artificial fountains, mountain lakes, boat rides, army training activities, leaf benches to sit on smooth green lawns, train rides.But because of the smooth and bumpy roads, you have to drive with utmost safety. Otherwise, unexpected events can happen at any moment. Due to security reasons, movement of common people is prohibited on this road of Hathazari after 8 pm. Here the blue sky is mixed with green hills. Bhatiari is full of white buck and other birds in the water of the lake. Finally I want to say:-
CNG autorickshaw fare from Chittagong city directly to Bhatiari is available between 150 to 200 taka. And if you want to go to Bhatiari by public bus, you have to board the bus from the City Gate area, the entrance of the city. The rent will be from 15 taka to 20 taka per person.
Bhatiari Sunset Point also offers wonderful sunset viewing facilities for tourists. Moreover, this area is under the army and tourists or picnickers have to take permission from the army or the authorities.
If you want to lose yourself in nature, if you want to spend some time with your family in the fresh oxygen or cold air in the green bosom, if you want to fly like a free bird out of the cage of machinery, or if you want to spend some time in silence with your bare feet on the green grass, holding the hand of your loved one. If you want to continue, you must come to Sitakunda Bhatiari Military Academy, a quiet, safe, picturesque hilltop location.
