Meghla Parjatan complex
Bandarban is a blessing for tourists, and it is packed with numerous notable tourist places to enjoy. Among them, Meghla Parjatan Complex is pretty close and very easy to explore for everyone. It is built beside the Bandarban-Keranihat road, and the distance is 4 kilometers from Bandarban city. It is constantly busy handling travelers as a result. And it is not like that; people choose it because it is close to the city. It’s just a fact, and it is a really worthy place to explore. It offers a beautiful trekking trail, which is covered with green, crosses a lake, and goes over a hill. Apart from this, tourists will get to know many more attractions and activities around the tourist complex. As a tourist complex, Meghla Parjatan Complex really understands its assignment, and it delivers to the tourists. Choosing the tourist complex for enjoying quality time with friends, family, and loved ones in nature’s lap, it won’t disappoint you.
How it looks
The Meghla Parjatan complex includes hills, lakes, and green elements of nature. Despite being man-made, the lake consistently attracts tourists. There are even two hanging bridges that go over the lake, which make it more attractive to the tourists. On the hanging bridges, tourists always get themselves busy taking photos. No matter which bridge you cross, if you cross the lake, then you will now be doing uphill trekking. The trail forms a U shape, crosses a hill, and ends at the hanging bridge. On the trail, tourists will find a mini safari park (kind of an organized park best for children to play around in) and a mini zoo (it is being closed for now). At the top of the trails, there are a few stalls that are run by local tribal people. These stalls are perfect spots to regain energy and enjoy the soothing atmosphere of the tourist complex. There are a few more arrangements around the complex to give tourists a cozy experience. Everything on the tourist complex swamp in green.
How to go
As I already mentioned, the Meghla Parjatan complex is nestled just 4 kilometers away from the Bandarban city, and Bandarban is well connected to other cities by road. So take a good ride on a safe journey to Bandarban; buses are best in this regard. Now take local transportation like CNG (a three-wheeler) to overcome a distance of 4 kilometers. To get all of you informed, the complex isn’t very big, so it doesn’t take much time to explore. So, tourists often explore the complex with other tourist attractions like Nilachal and Nilgiri.
Activities
The first and foremost activity tourists should do at the Meghla Parjatan complex is trek and explore the whole of it. And the lake on it isn’t just for scenic treatment for eyes; on it tourists can enjoy beautiful boat rides and good kayaking experiences. There is also a cable car setup, though it makes a lot of noise and is not the high-end type, but it offers pretty good views over the tourist complex, especially the green texture around the lake.
Best time to visit
Winter and spring are quite good seasons for exploring the tourist complex. I like spring more than winter to visit the tourist complex. There is no doubt winter makes movement easy and comfortable for travel, but the green texture of nature fades away around this time. The Meghla Parjatan complex looks so stunning when the greenery blooms, and the greenery blooms in the spring. Around that time, freshness occupied the tourist complex.
Food
In the tourist complex, there is a canteen, but it seems to me not that good at satisfying hunger. The best food service I found here is the local tribal small stalls at the top of the trail, where they offer local fruits to the tourists. Fruits are quite refreshing; there is nothing to deny, but fruits can’t fill up the stomach. To fill up the stomach, tourists have to choose the city.
Accommodation
The Meghla Parjatan complex can be explored and enjoyed within a few hours, so staying overnight for it makes no sense. But if tourists have other plans that require them to stay overnight to complete, then Bandarban city is best for staying. There are many different price levels of hotels in the city.
