Nijhum Dwip - Calm and Silent Island of Bangladesh

In the coast of Noakhali up to the deep ocean there exists a mysterious island “Nijhum Dwip”. High comber of the sea blue sky and clouds are flying here with ever joy. Grin and slowly this island exists in the womb of the sea. Now it is a beautiful island surrounding with green forest in all sides. The pleasant and tender environment of Nijhum Dwip deeply attracts the tourists. People who have the zeal about adventure are becoming interested with this island. Nijhum Dwip rose on the tidal mouth of the great Meghna channel in the estuary of the Bay of Bengal. It is located at the 2 km South West of Hatiya under Noakhali District.


Birth of Nijhum Dwip: 

Hatiya is an island of Bangladesh under Noakhali District. It is situated at the southern part of Noakhali. You can find the bottomless Blue Ocean in the south of Hatiya. Hatiya has been growing a wealthy locality for hundreds of years. Most of the people of Hatiya Island are farmer and fishermen. But most of them are rich 
successively and owner of huge property. Many of them were high ranked businessmen. The people of Hatiya and other costal area have been growing up playing with a crazy sea. They have been pulled over the sea on fishing for many years. In 1950’s fishermen of Hatiya island found a huge awakening land in the southern part of the sea. From their life experience they often see that this kind of floating island rise up on the sea and then lost to acute wave of the sea. 
They might have thought that the island seem like those. But people saw that gradually this island raise with more visible in day by day. Within a few days it was formed a nice island. One of the main features of this island is, the land of this island is sandy and glittering. Fishermen named this island as Ballarchar or Baloor Char. Balu means sand literally. After the discovery of Nijhum Dwip, Fishermen found it as a resting place in the far sea. They also started to dry fish in this Island. Gradually bush and plants grow in there. 

A cowboy named Usman Mia who crossed the sea to go there with his cattle. After his arrival with cattle in this island this island was known to all as Char Usman. Yet this name Char Usman is now recorded in official documents as well. Gradually the island’s land has been increasing. 



In 70’s decades Aminul Islam Kalam was a member of Hatiya Island. He introduced this island in front of native and foreigners. Every one was fascinated to see the calm and pleasant scenery of the island. Then Aminul Islam Kalam gave it to the name, Nijhum Dwip. It is now a populated area. There grown up a lot of trees and plants. Here nature comes into a calm and cool mood. The island environment is still silent. When the high comber of the sea playing with the coast of this Nijhum Dwip, truly there produced an unbelievable scene.

At around 6 am, we wake up and had our breakfast. Hotel restaurant was not open at that time, but I communicated with the manager and made the arrangement. At 7 am, the tour car, an X-corolla AC car, came at the hotel door to pick us for sight seeing. We contacted with him from Dhaka.
We reached at Lala Khal Point. From there, we took a boat and went to the Lala Khal Tea Garden. It was awesome feeling when we were boating on the green water. We rached our point, had some walk, saw the young boys playing football. We came back from there at around 12:30 PM. Then we got inside the car and started for Jaflong. By this time, we had some snacks at a roadside hotel.
We visited by rickshaw, went to the Khasya Palli, the zero point - Bangladesh India border bridge at Jaflong. At 3:30 PM, we started for our hotel from there.
In that way, we took a break at Tamabil Border point and then Jayantapur Resort. This resort area is a nice one. Here we saw a village home noted as "LAST HOUSE OF BANGLADESH". Infact, here we saw the border line. There were some waterfalls from the hills which were awesome. We took our lunch and it was almost 4 pm. But the food was good.

He was shouting for his room and we came to know that his hotel from Chittagong communicated with the bunglow manager for a room and they confirmed, but now he was not getting it. However, we came into play there to save our country's pride and the matter solved. He got a cottage instead of a room.
After solving these, we went out by rickshaw for lunch. It was a nice restaurant where we had our lunch. Then we fixed a rickshaw puller to help us to visit the town.
