We left Dhaka at dawn to embark on an amazing journey, heading by car to Kuakata, a hidden coastal gem marking Bangladesh's coastline.

We leave the urban bustle behind, our spirits filled with expectation, and embrace the tranquil landscapes that appear in front of us.

It starts with black clouds and it looks like the day would be rainy!

It would be 297 kilometers from my current residence which roughly would take eighth hours with few breaks.

We pause to enjoy a full breakfast as we approach the Mawa Ferry Station, a symphony of hunger rumbling within. Local culinary treats tempt our taste senses and give us a flavor of Bangladesh's rich culinary history.

The adventure continued as we began to ascend Padma Multipurpose Bridge, Bangladesh's longest bridge, which was 255 kilometers away.

As we resume our journey, we pass through lovely villages, beautiful paddy, jute, ladies fingers, green chilli, sugarcane fields, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The welcoming nature of the natives.

Our journey is made better by the wonderful hospitality of the locals, who fully immerse us in the region's unique culture and traditions. We stopped several times for tea Breaks we feeds Street dogs most of the times.

Finally, we reach the charming coastal town of Kuakata. The Ocean View Hotel, which is tucked away close to the shore and offers ideal overnight accommodations, invites us in with its expansive views of the ocean.

We go outside as the day comes to an end to see the famous Kuakata sunset.
As the sun gracefully says goodbye, the beach comes to life with a kaleidoscope of hues, sending a beautiful light across the sky and the sparkling waves. We embrace the peacefulness Kuakata bestows as we stroll along the shore, savoring the peace of the moment.

The beautiful beach length known as 18km but including all attractions it would be more than that. There is numerous opportunities for travellers and beach authorities to make the beach one of renowned attractions for tourists.

We find ourselves captivated by the seductive atmosphere of Kuakata under the starry sky. At a delightful coastal restaurant, a sumptuous dinner of freshly caught seafood is waiting for us. Here, we enjoy the flavors of the ocean while being gently caressed by the sea breeze.

Beautiful Sunsets


We awaken to the musical symphony of crashing waves as a new day begins. We see the amazing beauty of the daybreak at Kuakata Beach as we are eager to explore. As the sun rises from the ocean's depths, golden hues paint the heavens, giving a mystical aura that inspires a deep sense of wonder and thankfulness.

We carry on to Jhaubon, a "Evergreen Forest" that provides solace in the middle of nature. As we stroll through the green plants, we take in the cool air and enjoy the symphony of chirping birds and rustling leaves.

We board a boat to Fatrar Char, a remote island off the coast of Kuakata, where the adventure's high point awaits. We dive in, drifting through the tranquil waves.

We say goodbye to Kuakata as our time there comes to an end, taking with us fond memories and a deep appreciation of its beauty. Reflections of the peace and beauty of nature we were lucky to see in Kuakata decorate the ride back to Dhaka, making an enduring impression on our souls.
