A Day to Remember: Kaalmegha Country Club & Resort
Sometimes all it takes to uplift your soul is to go on a vacation in the middle of a hectic city life schedule. Either alone to find ourselves or with family and friends to create happy memories with them, we should take short breaks every now and then.
Few days ago, we took a short break from the city life to a resort. We had such a memorable experience of the day that I can’t hold myself share it with you. Among many resorts and hotels for some unknown reasons, we choose the “Kaalmegha Country Club & Resort's” situated at Sreepur, Gazipur.
We started early morning as it was a week day and the roads will be full of traffic. We started from Dhanmondi at 7.30 am. Fortunately, there was’nt that much of traffic on the road till Gazipur Chowrasta. Due to a factory fire incident, we had to stuck there for 20 mins.
We had an amazing English breakfast at Hotel X at Rajendrapur. In my experience, it was an excellent place to have breakfast. However, if you want an economic breakfast, then you can test the Surma Restaurant beside Hotel X which serves mouthwatering desi dishes.
After a while we again started our journey to the resort via Dhaka Mymensingh highway. In today’s date, it is one of the finest roads in Bangladesh. If you are going by this road, I would also like to suggest you to visit Bangabandhu Safari park (If you can manage time). This is one of the best safari parks of Bangladesh.
As our target was to reach Kaalmegha as soon as possible, we didn’t stop at the Safari park and kept our journey straight to Kaalmegha . From the highway we have taken the Joina Bazar road to Kaalmegha. Don’t worry, you will see a signboard as a direction from highway.
When we reached there, a Dholi (Drummer) received us and escort us to the office room. After check in and getting the welcome drinks we headed towards our Bungalow. The whole area was very neat and tidy and with birds chirping all around.
We booked the Banglow with a private pool and Jakuzy. Around 12.30 pm we reached our room. After check in my travel mates couldn’t stop them going to the swimming pool but I decided to take a little nap.
At 2 pm the lunch was served. We all agreed that the food was very tasty indeed. Vegetable, Chicken curry, Mash potato, Lentil soup, Fish fry and Nolen Gurer Rashgulla, all the items were mouthwatering and healthy. The food quantity of the food was also decent. We ordered 4 meal but 5 people couldn’t finish it.
As twilight sets, enjoy silent nature under the sun canopy beside your private swimming pool. Be amused by a perfect moonlit night with wild calling where you may even wake up listening to birds chirping the sweetest lullaby.
In the evening time, as snacks, they served potato wages and tea. As twilight sets, we enjoyed the silent nature under the sun canopy beside the private swimming pool. And, in dinner, they served fresh BBQ chicken with Paratha, Vegetable, salad, cold drinks, water and an amazing piece of pudding. But while our BBQ was on fire, there was a complimentary Baul Song was performance at our Bungalow for the guests. The team was very energetic and they sang the sons very well. I shall never forget sitting there listening to the songs of Lalon, Hason Raja and Shah abdul Karim.
After a perfect moonlit night with wild calling, we woke up listening to birds chirping as a sweet lullaby. We had our breakfast at 8:00 am with Paratha, Egg mamlet, Alo curry, vegetable and Semolina Haluwa. After the fresh and delicious breakfast, we checked out from Kaalmegha carrying a positive vibe to deal with the challenges of the city life.
So, if you are also a nature lover and thinking of a short trip and enjoy folk music and fresh foods near Dhaka, I will recommend you to take a chance to have the experience like this and enrich your life.
See you on another experience.
