Assalamualaikum all of my friends. How are you all? I hope you all are well. I am also fine. After a long time, today I am here to share with you another new travel experience of mine and it was time to leave for my home Khulna. So through today's post, I am sharing another bus travel experience of mine with you.

---

I originally left Dhaka for Khulna during the Eid holidays and I travelled by bus which was a great experience for me. Our journey started at noon and our departure time was 3 pm so I packed all my bags and reached the bus counter at the specified time.

After reaching the bus counter, I went to the passenger seating area and waited there. I had reached the ticket counter a long time ago so I had to wait for the bus for some time. Every now and then the buses were leaving the counter for their destinations and I was also waiting for our bus.

After 2:50 PM, our bus arrived at the counter and then the bus counter asked us to come to the designated bus. Then I and the other passengers of the bus came to the bus and loaded all our belongings onto the bus. After loading the bags onto the bus, I also boarded the bus and then waited for the journey.

Within a few minutes of boarding the bus, the bus left for Khulna from the Rajarbagh bus counter. Since it was Eid time, there was a lot of traffic jam on the road. However, I was sitting inside the bus and enjoying the views outside the bus. Our bus started its journey just after 3 pm on the scheduled time and from then on I started enjoying the journey.

As our bus started its journey, we were given a small gift from a company which contained several food items from that company. I really enjoy receiving these gifts and since I was fasting at the time, I left the food in front of me without eating it and started enjoying the journey again.

After leaving the bus from the Rajarbagh bus counter and going a little further, our bus got into a traffic jam and then we faced the problem of traffic jam. However, there was comparatively less traffic on the road that day due to which we were able to start our journey in less time.

As soon as the traffic jam problem ended, our bus quickly climbed onto a flyover to avoid other traffic jams and then started its journey on the flyover. This flyover basically extends to Dhaka Jatrabari bus stand, which is why our bus started its journey on this flyover.

After riding on the flyover for some time, we started descending from the flyover. We rode on the flyover for only about five minutes, which was a much better experience for me. Whenever I come to Dhaka or travel from Dhaka to Khulna, I enjoy the view of different parts of Dhaka city from this flyover.

After getting off the flyover, our bus to Jatrabari waited there for some time and then resumed its journey. Basically, I was not sleepy at this time of the afternoon, so I slept in the bus for some time during the journey. I woke up after about an hour and then I saw our bus traveling on the Padma River, the largest river in Bangladesh. I spent that time enjoying the beauty of the Padma River.

After crossing the Padma Bridge, we started our journey on a new road. By then, the sun had slightly tilted towards the western sky and the green trees all around were looking quite nice. I enjoy the views of both sides of the road more during these journeys, which I always like. Sometimes the view of the sun peeking through the leaves of the big trees was charming.

After about two hours of journey, our car stopped at a famous restaurant named Sampan in Gopalganj district. Our journey time was only 10 minutes. Since I was fasting, I had bought some food from the restaurant which I wanted to eat during Iftar. I also freshened up in the washroom of the restaurant there and returned to the car within the stipulated time.

After ten minutes our break ended and all the passengers were asked to board the bus. At the appointed time our vehicle left for its destination. I was enjoying the beautiful scenery along the road and I saw that the sun in the western sky had turned yellow and orange which looked quite beautiful.

At 6:16 PM, the call to prayer for Maghrib was given and I started eating my iftar food. Basically, before our iftar, we were given Iftar packets from the bus, which contained the popular Iftar foods. First of all, I ate the food provided by the bus for my iftar. After breaking our iftar, our bus was stopped in front of a mosque on the side of the road for Maghrib prayers.

After Maghrib prayers, our bus resumed its journey and in a while we entered Khulna division. It was dark on both sides of the road, so I could not enjoy the views on both sides of the road, so I lay down on the seat to rest. After some time, I saw that our bus had entered Khulna district and was crossing the Khulna Rupsha River.

I reached my destination after 8 pm and my journey experience was quite pleasant for me. Our bus made some stops for some reasons and I was not bothered by this at all as these stops were made for the convenience of passengers like us. This is the most expensive bus in Bangladesh and the experience of travelling in this bus was really very enjoyable for me.

Thank you very much
