An unseen beauty of Bangladesh
Read the text.
Bangladesh is a small country but it is gifted with unlimited natural attractions. Only some of these eye-catching destinations are known to us. But there are many other areas laying in the green, remote countryside that are less-known to us. Shusong Durgapur of Birishiri is one such place.
Shusong Durgapur has an amazing landscape. It is located on the bank of crystal clear Someshwari river and is close to the Garo hills. You can see the hills of Indian state of Meghalayas from here. The nature has unfolded its glory in this small, rural landscape. Here you can see the ceramic mountain leaning against the sky, the blue water of the pictorial mountain-valley, the modest movement of the river Someshwari, and the abandoned coal mines. There is another river here called Kangsa, which is also known as old Someshwari.
Shusong Durgapur is located under Netrokona district about 170 km north from Dhaka. It’s not only blessed with alluring natural beauty, but also rich in vibrant ethnic culture. There are many ethnic groups like- Hajong, Garo, Achik and Mandi living here. The Birishiri Tribal Cultural Academy is located at Durgapur. It is a centre for various cultural and educational activities of different tribes.
The main attraction of Birishiri is the ceramic hill of Durgapur and the charming landscape along the Shomeshwari River. The river changes its color as the seasons change. Among other attractions are the palace of the Susang king, the Dasha Busha Temple, Orange Gardens, Gajarie forests and the Ramkrisna and Loknath Baba Temples.
The best way to get to Birishiri is by road from Dhaka. You can find direct bus to Birishiri from Mohakhali bus stand, Dhaka. It usually takes 5 to 6 hours to get there. When you are there you can go around the town by rickshaws. The rickshaw pullers know all the places very well.
