Moheshkhali , probably the remotest island of the nation, begins its excursion as a "Advanced Island" as an undertaking in such manner is dispatched. PM Sheik Hasina initiated the plan named "Advanced Island Moheshkhali" that associated Moheshkhali upazila of Cox's Bazar with rapid web organization.
Moheshkhali (back from Cox's Bazar): The vast beach of Cox's Bazar, the mountains of Himachari and the waterfalls could not satisfy the mind. There was a burst of dissatisfaction in this journey. From that dissatisfaction the plan was to return from Maheshkhali.
The day was Friday. On a winter's morning, we checked out of the hotel before 6 o'clock in the morning and left for Moheshkhali .
I got on an autorickshaw from Kalatali Main Road in Cox's Bazar town for Bankkhali Launch Ghat (Jetty No. 6). The island of Maheshkhali has to be reached from that ghat managed by the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority.
Moheshkhali Jetty. The middle-aged autorickshaw driver drove us through the alleys of the city and dropped us off at the dock in half an hour.
By then it was 9 o'clock on the clock. The stomach is rumbling with hunger.
The housewife advised the traveling companion to eat something. I had breakfast at a hotel in the ghat.
Then I proceeded towards the ghat. The farther we go, the louder the noise. People are people. As it is a Friday, there is no time to wait for the arrival of additional tourists. From here you usually have to go to Maheshkhali by speedboat. Moheshkhali jetty can be seen from a distance. Meanwhile, sensing the presence of more passengers, they are not leaving the ghat without additional fare and reserve by syndicating among themselves.
I fell into misery, if you rent a speedboat for two, the travel cost will increase. While walking around with this thought, one of them said that there are eight people in their group and if they go with us, there will be 10 people. A boat can be reserved, I just agreed to the offer. The whole boat rent is 12 hundred rupees. (Although the other day the rent is 60 to 70 rupees per person).
Finally our desired Moheshkhali journey started. The other eight people in the boat came from Narayanganj. Within a few minutes the head was quite frozen with them. Our speedboat is moving fast through the blue water of Bankkhali river. The water droplets of the river are falling on the body, the green forest is far away, the fair of white bucks is sitting on the bank of the river, the gangchill is flying over the head, the camera can no longer be kept in the bag. This time the device has to be taken out, otherwise the enchanting form of Bankkhali river bank will be lost.
Fifteen minutes passed while keeping an eye on the camera view finder. An installation was seen from a distance. The driver of the boat said we had arrived. What can be seen in the distance is the jetty to land on Moheshkhali Island.
After a while our boat came to the jetty. Everyone in the team came down one by one. After paying the boat fare, crossing a few stairs, climbing over the jetty and looking around, it looks like a different look. Green forest, arranged in blue water. The first moment I saw the created forest, I thought I had come to the Sundarbans.
Moheshkhali jetty surrounded by parabon is very beautiful. From Cox's Bazar to Moheshkhali , Kutubdia and Sonadia Islands, Parabon can be seen. Once you enter this parabon, which is built on the banks of Samudra Char and Bankkhali river, there is no chance to return without being fascinated. The road to the Adinath temple. This naturally formed paraban is a mangrove forest of various species of respiratory plants including bain and keora on about 600 hectares of land. Rows of deer that touch the head of a tree, migratory birds will look like another Sundarbans. On the way to Cox's Bazar-Moheshkhali-Kutubdia and Sonadia coasts, this forest is seen at the mouth of Bankkhali river. Many people call this jetty a shooting bridge. A Bengali movie was shot here.
Turning around the jetty, this time our journey is towards the rest of the spots in Maheshkhali. Halim's brother, Moti's brother and a total of 8 people including us rented an autorickshaw from Narayanganj. The agreement with the driver is that he will tour the whole of Maheshkhali. The rent is fixed at 450 rupees.
The driver first took us to the Adinath temple. This temple is on the top of Mainak mountain. Before going up to the temple, I saw a drink decorated with colored spices. One said that everyone came to Moheshkhali and drank this drink. Moheshkhali has a world-renowned sweet drink. Khili is sold at Rs 10 to a maximum of Rs 50 per drink. I tasted Maheshkhali's sweet drink with a khili drink in my mouth. I used to get up at Adinath temple to taste the sweet juice of drinking.
The Adinath temple is built on the Mainak hill. So its another identity as the hill of Adinath. There is a paved staircase from the foot of the Mainak hill to the top. Weaving cloth shop lined up on the left side of the stairs. Almost all of the vendors in these shops are local Rakhine women. Shops are stocked with colorful weaving cloth. We decided to climb the mountain first. We climbed to the top along the path that went up step by step.
The narrow trail runs through the hills on one side of the peak. Standing on the summit, you can see the sea and coastal forests in the distance. At the foot of the hill below, drinking waste is also visible. Adinath temple in the middle of the hill on the way down. A row of benches to sit on one side of the paved floor inside. Then down the hillside on the other side of the wall. Going a little further, the main temple and Shivling. You have to leave your shoes at the temple. Two women guarded the shoes for five rupees. Visiting the temple, many devotees and tourists are seen worshiping. Dry shopping mall. Talking to a priest in his sixties, he said that Moheshkhali upazila has been named after the god Mahesh. Historians believe that the structure of the Adinath temple was built in the 16th century at a height of about 300 feet on the Mainak hill.
According to the Ramayana, in order to defeat Rama in battle in the third age, Ravana started worshiping Shiva and sought immortality.
Shiva gave a condition to Ravana that Shiva should be taken from the peak of Kailasa to Lanka with his penis on his head and worshiped. Can't be kept anywhere along the way. If you keep it, you can't lift it anymore. On the way, Ravana left Shiva on this Mainak hill and went to respond to the natural call. But when he came back and wanted to lift his head again, he could not do so. Shiva's position became on the Mainak hill. Naga monks used to visit the temple. One of them was Gorakhnath. The name of Maheshkhali Upazila Sadar is Gorakghata. According to a local named Haripada, Shiva Chaturdashi Mela is held in Adinath every year in the month of Falgun. It lasted for 13 days. Then there was a stream of pilgrims from home and abroad. Golden Temple. Then our destination is the big Rakhine neighborhood. There are several Buddhist gold temples in the area. The temples are also well arranged to look like the golden temples of Bandarban. After visiting a few temples, we came to Shuntakipalli in Maheshkhali. Dried fish is being dried in the sun there. One can understand the taste of the dried fruit here. Our team members returned after buying dried fruits from Mong Shuntki Bipnibitan in Gorakghata Bazar.

And to go the other way, you have to come to Chakraya by road from Chittagong and come to Maheshkhali through Badarkhali. It takes one and a half hours to reach Moheshkhali on this route.
Accommodation:
There is no better way to stay here. So I have to return to Cox's Bazar after finishing my day trip.
