"Hasnabad”, A Perfect Escape From The Concrete Jungle




             Located in the Border of India and Bangladesh in the banks of River Ichamoti in the sub division of Basirhat. Hasnabad  A perfect escape from the concrete jungle is a small town with beauty all around its edges and a perfect gateway trip from the daily boring life.




Route map: 
                  A train from Sealdah station to Hasnabad or bus from Esplaned to Hasnabad is popular way of travelling, but if you are looking for some fresh air and beauty of rural bengal or beauty of ethentic village then a Bike ride is the way to go. Train takes about 2:30hr. Bus takes about the same time give or take 15 minutes. It’s just about 85 KM from Kolkata towards Taki.

            The scenic beauty of this place is beyond the imagination of a mind trapped in the concrete jungle. On the other side of the river is Bangladesh and to be specific the district of khulna. Like other border area this place is not that much high alert zone as you can take a boat ride to the middle of the river and take a close look at the neighboring country and its people.


                These are the few pictures I clicked during my Visit there.  22°34'11.4"N 88°56'10.3"E this is the longitude and latitude of the Google map position these pictures were taken on.


          For the hungry eyes this little boy walking by the banks of Ichamoti with Bangladesh in the background and a perfect pose for a photo is highly unusual.

      


         That’s me wearing the red T-shirt sitting on my ride and the 3 others are my friends who joined me on the trip although 2 of my friends are not in the frame as one was behind the camera and the other was busy taking selfies :P . There are multiple watch towers which you can use to enjoy the view but if there are soldiers around ask them for permission as its built for border security.

           A picture of my brothers’ bike. The picture is too good and couldn’t stop myself from sharing it.

         If you are bored of your daily life and don’t have more than a day and want to freshen up your mind then it’s the place to go for. See you again in my next post.
