My village is my ultimate travel destination

At Monpura Bridge

People in South Asia have a very close connection with their village. For example, one family lives in the city for months but whenever they get a national holiday for religion or anything like this, they like to spend it in their village with their relatives there. I am not out of them. Whenever I get a chance my village: Chapri gets the first priority to visit.

A flower in my village. Though I cannot remember the name of it.

Chapri is an ordinary village. There were not so many attractive things that people can visit for. But as I was born and raised there, I cannot forget it. It is not possible even. Although it has not anything special to others, its river, open green field, flowers, songs of birds, sunset, its people, etc. attract me a lot that I cannot avoid.

After many days I saw such a beautiful rainbow in my village.

Most of the people in this village are farmers. There are some fishermen also. Very recently people are changing their profession there. They are becoming small businessmen day. Many people run auto-rickshaws as a livelihood. The rate of education has increased a lot. So educated people from this village are getting job that is increasing their living standard there.

Farmers are cultivating rice in field

People in this village know each other very well. They feel and cooperate with each other. I have never seen any big quarrel among my villagers. Rather they like to enjoy and share their happiness with the other people of the village. The young people like to go to school or college together, they also like to play football or cricket together in the afternoon in the village field.

A sweet snack named Goza, very popular among kids and young people.

Very recently a bridge are has become people in our village. It is known as Monpura Bridge. This bridge has become a place of refreshment for the villagers. Early in the morning, they come here to breathe in the fresh air. During the long Eid vacation, people come from far, it becomes crowded then. Our villagers then sell their fruits and other things to the tourists.

Accessibility features.

Like other villages in Bangladesh or in South Asia, you will not see any accessibility features here.

No wheelchair-accessible parking or entrance is available in this village.

Only government school has a wheelchair-accessible ramp.

You can come to the village from anywhere in the country by car, bus, motorcycle, etc.

No hotel is available here stay.

Fresh foods and drinking water are available.

All photos I took with my Samsung A50s smartphone.

The photo of the flower of the plant you said you don’t remember, it is called ច្រេស [chres] in my language @MukulR . It is called many names in English: Albizza lebbek (lebbeck, lebbek tree, flea tree, frywood, koko and woman’s tongue tree).

The green leaves are edible and we use them in the dish but in most cases, they are bitter.
