How to go:
Birishiri is a remote place as it is situated at the Bangladesh India border. As a result all modes of transportation aren’t available here. So the best way to get in here is by road from Dhaka. You can find direct bus to Birishiri from Mohakhali bus stand at Dhaka. It will take 7 hours to get there and last half an hour may get bumpy as the last 30 km road is not well constructed. When you are there you can go around the town by rickshaws. In fact it is advised to visit the tourists spot in rickshaws as the pullers know all the places very well.For us,It took almost 7 hours to reach YMCA Guest house by microbus.

There is two way to get yourself accommodate. One is you can camp on the hills if you come here in a group. And the other way is to book rooms of YMCA rest house. However you stay there it will not get in your way of enjoying your stay at Birishiri. The memories you will get on that trip will be unforgettable and magnetic.

What to eat (food):
At YMCA Gust house you may order food to local caretaker.You can also do BBQ at the front side of the guest house.
Tips/advise for traveler:
Rickshaws and boats are only means of transport.We have walked a lot because of broken and muddy roads.You may carry your food as there are no hotel or resturant out there.Use soft shoes.Don’t forget to hire a local guide and be careful while bargaining with guide and rickshaw pullers.Take fresh water and umbrellas with you.

It was significant in many political battles and is today a vital part of traditional education. The University of  Dhaka  has a School of Science division, of which the Curzon Hall is a part thereof. Its massive structure stands as a monument to the heritage of education in the city. Thus a dream that did not come true for its creator became as important as its original purpose was meant to be. Visiting Curzon Hall is not only a journey into the past, but it is an architectural masterpiece to marvel at.

It took up its position as part of the science division of the Dhaka University in 1921. The hall was...
