Hello All,
How are you doing today?
Welcome everyone to see my new post. You have already come to know about my Balishira Resort in Sreemangal. So this time I will present Sreemangal's other sights and natural beauty to you. I hope you will like it.
On the first day, our destination from Balishira Resort was on the way to Noor Jahan Tea Garden. There were four of us and we hired a CNG. We had to pass this place on our way to the tea estate. There was a signboard saying Welcome to Kamalganj Upazila. Also there were several signboards giving directions to some Tea Estates.
Our CNG drove through this route. I noticed that the roads there were very crooked. There were many trees along this road.
We were heading towards Noor Jahan Tea Garden, and it suddenly started raining. We really enjoyed watching the beauty of this place in the rain. Interestingly, it stopped raining suddenly. Basically it rains often and then suddenly stops there at rainy day.
Then we reached Noor Jahan Tea Garden. It took about 30-40 minutes to reach there from our resort. I saw many tea gardens there. There is only green and green around the tea garden.
A signboard was given on this side of the tea garden. There was a sign board saying that public entry inside the garden was prohibited so we tried to get in where there was no warning though we shouldn't have as there's fear of getting snake bites if we go inside the gardens.
The view of this place was amazing. I took some beautiful pictures there. My husband took some great pictures of me.
This side of the tea garden was allowed to enter. So we entered a little inside the tea garden. Then I took some pictures there. Me and my tour mate were in the frame. We had a lot of fun taking pictures with this funny pose.
The beauty of the tea garden fascinated me. The nature there was very calm. The place looks very beautiful especially for the few big trees inside the tea garden.
This picture was suddenly taken by my husband and now it looks funny when I'm checking this again. I don't even know what I was going to do at the time. Lol.
We had a great time there. There were only these tea gardens to visit. Anyway, after that we headed back to the resort.
On our way back we came through this road. These roads were made of bricks and looked great. This brick design along the tea plantations makes the streetscape look amazing.
On our next day, we left for Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate. On our way we had to wait for some time at this place because there was a small boy blocking the road on the way to our desired spot.
The boy demanded a donation from us but it was totally baseless. I don't like this at all and these things are annoying for travelers. I think this collection of subscriptions should be stopped very soon.
After going a little further, I saw a car and some people ahead. Then we went further and saw there were many tea workers. This was the first time I saw tea workers from this close. They were picking up the tea leaves and keeping them in the car.
I saw and realized that the tea workers have a hard time making a living. They used to stand in the sun and pick the tea leaves from the gardens. I heard that their financial income is very little and they have to struggle to support their family for the whole month. Anyway, this matter is very sad and I hope they'll get what their hard work actually worth.
The tea workers were going along this road. They may be returning home after work. They had bags of tea leaves on their heads and this scene was captured by me.
There were 2 roads in this place and there were instructions on which direction to go to Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate. Then our CNG followed the right sided toad that says our desired spot was 3 k.m. ahead. The road to Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate was in good condition.
I was very excited to see this place so I requested the CNG driver and stopped at this place. It was great to see the sky from this place and my husband took this beautiful picture of me from that place.
When we were going towards Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate, we saw many big tea gardens passing by the road. To be honest, the places were more beautiful than the pictures. The view of green tea gardens all around and the blue sky above was just amazing.
Then we reached Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate. It took about 2 hours to get there. I was quite tired after traveling a long way but I didn't mind being tired as I was going to explore the place and made myself mentally strong. Anyway, it was a very sunny day and the clouds in the sky were very clear.
I'll talk about Madhobpur Lake and Tea Estate another day showing some beautiful photos that I stored for it.
That's it for today. Hope you like all the stories of this trip. Everyone stay healthy and travel on.
