Hello friends, I hope you are all well. For the fifth week of the Steemit Challenge contest, I will be sharing visit to Curious Explorer zone. I would like to thank the organizers of this challenge, and without further delay, I am starting my participation.

What kind of Famous Tourist Spots have you visited? Briefly introduce yourself.

I have visited Bhatiari Lake. In fact, I have shared updates about Bhatiari Lake in my many blogs as well. This lake is massive in length and features several different points. In today's post, I am going to share the view of the lake's new Boat Point with all of you. Among all the lakes I have ever seen, Bhatiari is definitely one of the best.

This lake is located right in the middle of the hilly terrain of Chittagong, inside the Bhatiari Military Academy (BMA) area. The entire area is kept secure by the Bangladesh Army. Since it is a hilly region, there are certain restrictions in place. You can visit here every day from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, after which the army closes the roads.

How were the activities, services and facilities at this place? (With pictures + prices, videos)

Bhatiari Lake length for several kilometers, twisting and turning through the mountains inside the BMA. There is a Link Road passing through the hills, and as you travel along it, the lake runs right beside you—appearing on the left side of the road in some areas and on the right in others.

This means you can fully enjoy the beauty of the lake while enjoying a car ride along the road. The lake covers a vast area and has numerous points. The Boat Point is one of the most popular spots for tourists because you can enjoy boat rides and avail of other facilities here.

As you get closer to the lake, you will notice beautiful green trees atop the hills. These hills are not very high, though the ones deeper inside are quite tall. If you walk down towards the bank, the hills will look much larger to you.

The greenery on the hills is completely natural and has peace to the eyes. The surrounding environment is very calm and quiet, free from any hustle and bustle. All you can hear is the sweet chirping of birds, along with the occasional sound of vehicles passing on the nearby road.

When you come here, you will find crystal-clear water. This water is very clean. Many visitors come here to take a bath during the summer. I also have the experience of bathing in this lake, although we stayed very close to the bank and didn't went too far out.

From a distance, you can see the reflection of the hills and trees mirrored on the water's surface. Since the lake flows right at the base of these high hills, the shadow of the trees falls directly onto the water making it look very clear and stunning from afar.

This spot is called the Boat Point because visitors can rent boats to ride on the lake. You have to pay a rental fee for this service, which is managed by the BMA authorities. It costs 200 Taka per hour for a ride, while larger boats with higher seating capacities cost 100 Taka per hour.

There is a designated area for the boat ride where you must turn back from. Going too far is risky since this is a mountainous terrain. It is also an excellent place for kayaking. A large crowd of tourists can be seen here on holidays, as everyone wants to enjoy such breathtaking beauty.

It is impossible to cover Bhatiari Lake in a single post; I have simply highlighted one of its important points. It spans across many kilometers and flows deep through rugged hills. Nevertheless, any visitor will be captivated by its beauty and would want to return here again and again.

Show the special features of that place.

This lake has several special features. Besides enjoying a boat ride, visitors also have the opportunity to experience adventure and trekking up the hills. For the purpose of creating content during my recent visit, I climbed to the peak of the closest and lowest hill just to capture the view.

Climbing up the hill felt highly adventurous because I was surrounded by trees with a massive lake has in front of me. After reaching the top, the lake is visible with very clarity, it has an panoramic view. If you look at this view from above even once, I am sure you will fall in love with it.

Share your experiences of that place as a Curious Explorer.

I frequently visit the different points of this lake during holidays. My experience at the point I visited this time was amazing. I enjoyed it the most when I walked up to the very top of the hill to capture its unique essence and scenic beauty.

The path while climbing the hill was not smooth at all, and it took quite a bit of effort. However, once I reached the top, the sight that opened up before my eyes cannot be described in words. As a curious explorer, the various points of Bhatiari Lake and trekking up its hills will remain one of my most thrilling experiences.
