Exciting For Some, Tedious For Others

What looks like white-water rafting is actually the only means of travel to Tindu, Remakri, Baramadak and Chhotamadak in Thanchi of Bandarban. Tourists might find the trip on the Sangu river exciting with the beauty of Bandarban all around but regular travellers see it as troublesome. You have to get down at places as the boat runs aground and you often have to push the boat. And there is always the added danger of hitting a rock and the boat getting shattered. There is no boat service during the rainy season when the river becomes dangerously turbulent. A ride on this boat costs Tk 400 per person. Photo: Anurup Kanti Das
