Dhaka-Bandarban-Thanchi-Remakri-Nafakhum-Ginapara-Amiakhum-Velakhum-Nilgiri-Chimbuk
(7 days and 7 nights)
On February 4-7, 2026, we returned to Bandarban, with the plan as below :
Day 1: (Dhaka-Bandarban)
At eight o'clock in the morning, we left for Bandarban from Dhaka, stopping at St. Martin's Hyundai AC bus and leaving for Bandarban. Another will join us at Bandarban, the directorate from Chittagong. Sleeping in the comfortable seat of Hyundai and sleeping, we arrive at the destination around 4:00 pm. Get down in front of the Hilton Hotel. On Friday, February 7, I was worried about whether I would get a better hotel. One there advised us to stay in Thanchi today, then it would be less expensive and 8 hours ahead for tomorrow. But after we could not manage Thanchi's car, we stayed in Bandarbani. Staying at Hotel Hill View. In the evening walk along the Sangu River and the town.
Day 2: (Bandarban-Thanchi-Remakri-Nafakhum-Ginapara)
The longest tour day of the tour. Fajr prayers were read at Kakadaka at dawn so we went to the counter of Chad's car. The outside was very cold and foggy. At the counter we find another group of two with whom we rent a total of 4 jeeps, destination Thanchi. We kept on walking, piercing through the fog sheets. After two checkposts along the way, before a Cyrus where the NID wants to see; At another Ballipara, everyone deposits a copy of the NID. It is almost 4 o'clock in the morning to reach Thanchi. Let's go down and meet the guide. Our guide, Joakim Tripura, is a very kind and innocent type of person. He took us with us to Thanchi Police Station, BGB and took us to Thanchi Ghat to get on the boat. In the meantime, we are unable to talk to anyone in the house because the mobile network will not be available after Thanchi. We took a life jacket with us (though it didn't work). Finally we got on the boat and sailed for Remacri. The boat with the smallest dinghy type, can seat up to 5 people, with guide and 2 mid. While the boat is running, our eyes are ignored by the vote of the engine and our eyes are on the two sides of the Sangu River. In the midst of all the surprises, suddenly there will be two or four houses, shops, or landowners. Later on the way, Tindu, also known as the big stone. There are many false myths about people of this huge size, there are different names for the stones. About 2 hours after we reached Remakri, after lunch the lunch was not recovered. From Remakri, trekking on foot, sometimes on rocky paths, sometimes on slopes, or sometimes on the steep slopes. During the trekking, shop will be available at 2/3 of the place, where tea can be taken for breakfast. When we reach Napakhum by trekking about 5 km, the clock is at 9:25 pm, everyone is tired, but there is no way to stop, we must go to Jinpara today. So for a while Nafakhum enjoys its beauty, after Asr prayers I start to walk again. However, if you want to come around for a little longer, you can also go to Nafakhum Para at night.Going to Ginapara seemed like this route is more difficult than coming to Napakhum. The rocky high-low low path, the little danger of negligence can be a great danger. The evening came on the way, and the torches brought along worked well. When we reached Ginapara for about 5 km or more, no one else was hungry. We get up and rest in the home of the guide, the prayers are not finished. There is no electricity in Ginapara, but almost all homes have solar power. At night, we woke up to a deep slumber, except for a few minutes, watching the roast chicken, potato filling and zoom cultivating rice.
Day 3: (Ginapara-Amiakhum-Velakhum)
The fatigue of the previous day was to leave at 5 am in the morning, today's destinations are Amiakhum and Velakhum. Before leaving a bag of dry clothes, towels and water, we keep it with our local guide, because on this way, trekking with your body or a lot of tuff, the bag becomes Alaga Borden. On the way, you can see BGB camps and Thaisapara from a distance. Interestingly, no network was found after Thanchi, but on the way, Nicholas Parade was found in front of where the mobile network was found. If there is an urgent need, you can go and call. After crossing three small cliffs, we came to the top of the mountain, the last obstacle. It is quite a sloping path down here. It takes about 5 minutes to get to Namtei. First we went down to Velakhum with a whale. The silence of the silence and the sound of fountains coming from far away will surely take you to another world. After a while, I was freshly taken to the spring water and taken to Amiakhum. Amiakhum also got good water during this dry season. In fact, to find the answer to why you have to come so far by trekking so hard, you have to come to see this Amiakhum and Belakhum, the pictures captured on camera and their beauty fail to describe. We take a few minutes to bathe in the clear water of the fountain and back up. The god who seemed to be at the helm of the watch was a huge challenge, in retrospect it seemed like the more difficult thing to do, it just came out. It took about 4 hours to reach the top. After crossing the rest of the way, we returned to Ginapara again in the afternoon, staying there at night. Take a little walk in the evening, then sit down and chat with the guide, he shares his life experiences.
Day 4: (Ginapara-Nafakhum-Remakri-Thanchi)
One of the strange features of these guarding villages is the heavy fog in the morning and at night, after heavy cold, and again during the day, when the sun rises. After setting fire to the dense fog in the morning, we left Jinpara. Today's destination is Thanchi and I'll spend the night there. On coming to Jinapara, it was dusk, I could not understand the beauty of the neighborhood, I enjoyed the day well back. We arrived at Nafakhum Para and had a light breakfast in the morning. Then, after spending some time in front of the fountain, we left for Remacri, where the boat was supposed to stand for us. Our boat dropped off at Thanchi in the afternoon, and after being out of the network that day, we finally returned to the network. We get up at Hotel Priyanta in Thanchi, leave bags there and eat and eat in the city. In the evening, we had a good time by the side of Thanchi Bridge. |

5th Day: (Thanchi-Nilgiri-Chimbuk-Bandarban-Dhaka)
In the morning we hired a Mahindra CNG type car to go from Thanchi to Bandarban, on the way it would stop the eucalyptus and the magnet. This car's speed is a little lower than Chad's car, but since we were small the group had to take this. Some days after seeing all the beauty of Bandarban's temples, the eucalyptus and the chinook seemed a bit mad to us, it might have been better in the beginning here. After taking pictures, I returned to Bandarban at noon.
