Bandarban,Nilgiri
Nilgiri is approximately 3500 feet high situated in
Thanci Thana. It is one of the tallest peaks in Bandarban and undoubtedly one
of the favorite tourists’ spots of Bangladesh. Nilgiri is about 46 kilometer
South of Bandarban town. Nilgiri is situated in the Bandarban-Thanci-Chimbuk
road.
Tourists visiting
Nilgiri will be able to see the Mro Village and meet some wonderful bunch of
people there. The simple lifestyle of the Mro people, their colorful culture
living so close to nature and wilderness is absolutely a stunning thing to
explore and experience. Bangladesh Army manages this place, and the resorts
which are available in Nilgiri are managed by the local governing body of the
Bangladesh Army. Tourists who want to stay the night at the Nilgiri resort at
the top of Nilgiri Mountain must confirm their reservation beforehand through
contacting the Army officers of Bandarban.
The rest of the night
went pretty
well despite
my encounter with a giant spider. But that's a different story.
On the second day, we went to the helipad. The
greenery, the white clouds over the valley, the crisp air – all made that sunny
day magical.
From the Nilgiri hilltop, I could even see
lighthouses and ships in the far Bay of Bengal using my uncle's monocular.
We spent the rest of the day exploring the resort
and taking pictures. It was so windy that the thought of wind turbines came to
my mind. Surely, the turbines, if installed there, would produce enough
electricity to power the resort or, at least, part of it.
