Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation introducing travel card Passéra with upto 60% discounts

Posted on by

If you go to a remote place of Bangladesh, Parjatan Motels (managed by Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation) are the best places to stay. They have larger rooms, clean furnitures and clothes and restaurant with delicious foods of your choice.

As they provide the best services, the cost is usually a bit higher than other private hotels and restaurants. Though everyone wants to stay at Parjatan Motels because services they offer are satisfactory compare to their competitors, it is not always possible for students or some service holders due to high prices.

Now here BPC comes with great news introducing a new travel card Passéra to offer discounts on accommodation and food in its different commercial outlets all over the country. See details below.

Attaché said they will make it available in all BPC outlets by September. For now, the card is only available at Attach office at Uttara.

Hotel and Restaurant Information

For now, this facility is available for all BPC managed Parjatan Motels. Some Parjatan Motels (like Khagrachari, Madhabkundo) which are run by NGO and private organizations are not offering discounts yet. I talked with the Attach representative regarding this and they said they are trying to make a deal with those Motels as well. For a full list of Motels and Restaurants offering this discount, click on the image below.

Do not forget to book your room over phone at least one week prior to your travelling, otherwise you may not get room available as Parjatan Motels are travelers first choice.

For regular travelers, I think it will be wise to grab a card. What do you think?

The prime appeal of Ramsagor is to witness a big wetland in association with scores of natural magnificence.

Located in the Dinajpur district in the north-west region of Bangladesh, the national park covers around 60 square kilometers, with an infinite man-made water basin.

Just beside to the site you can get a bonus site of Shal bon (shal forest)

in Ramsagor. Ramsagor is known as country’s largest and most beautiful lake which is only six kilometer south from Dinajpur town.

The lake is surrounded by red colour soil ( lalmati) highlands, parks, gardens, many sculptures of animals and birds. There is also speedboat facility here as well as fishing facilities in the lake also a great adventure. It is a magnificent site and you wouldn’t want to miss it if you eyes one stuck at its beauty.

The area around the Ramsagar Lake is a popular picnic spot for both locals and tourists that enhanced the peaceful impression of being close watch to natural world.

Brief history of Ramsagor Between 1750 and 1755 the Ramsagor was built by a kind Hindu king Ram Nath and the big lake was named in honour Ram Nath. During that century, the region was ruled by 11 kings lead by Shukh Dev. Among them Pran Nath and Ram Nath were the best and innovative. During their ruling, huge palaces, temples etc. were built and lakes were dug for public interest.

The water reservoir Ramsagor was made to provide local inhabitants with safe drinking water. Its construction was initiated by king Ram Nath involving lakhs of people’s labour.

Why Ramsagor attract tourists! State-owned Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation, which manages many tourism projects in Bangladesh, has developed some visitor facilities around the lake, such as rest-rooms, picnic corners and refreshment arenas as well as playgrounds for children to enjoy. Popular activities in the area including fishing, boating and hiking are also advantage.

The lake is populated by a plenty of fish, as well as fresh water crocodiles, while visitors can enjoy enormous wildlife and adventure opportunities to see on land including Deer, Chitra Deer, Bear and other magnificent animals.

You can also watch different types of birds like Sand Piper, Ringed Plover and Grey and Purple Herons. In winter huge number of migratory/guest birds visits this lake which is a source of recreation of visitors.

There was a ghat (stairs) on the middle part of the western bank and the remains of it still exist. Made of sandstone slabs of different sizes, the structure measured about 45.8m by 18.3m. The tank is surrounded by 10.75m high embankments.

More than two lakh visitors visits the Ramsagor tourist spot all the year round while the entry fees is Tk only 5.00 per person.

When & how to go to Ramsagar National Park: The suitable time to visit the Ramsagor is between October and March.

If you like to test the beauty of Ramsagor, chalk out a tour plan even with family members. You can travel by highway, railway and even air ways. From capital Dhaka you have to avail a Dinajpur bound coach touching- Sirajgonj, Bogra and Dinajpur. You have to stay on bus at least six to seven hours with several breaks on the highway as it is 414 km far from Dhaka.

The train journey is also suitable but much longer than bus. It is accessible from Dhaka to Dinajpur by road.
