We stayed 2 nights at Lichie eco cottage and went around in the area to see different things like rainforest, teaplantations, banana, pineapple and lemon plantations, lakes, rubber tree plantations, local schools, you name it ! :)
I love that anything is possible in Bangladesh. You can just make a stop anywhere you like, get out of the car, smile and ask if you can have a look at whatever they are doing :)
Here comes some pictures...
A man working at a tea plantation we drove by shows us the fresh tea. They pick the light green ones growing on the top of the bush. They keep cutting the push in a "plat surface" on top of the tea so that new leafs keeps popping up.
My driver M.Ali
Our car going around between the plantations ..
We noticed a man on a rubber tree plantation that was emptying the cups on the trees and ofcourse we had to stop the car and see if we could join him. - No problem ! :)
He has to empty the cups 2 times a day, the rubber poors out rather quickly.
Rubber tree plantation worker.

Their village where located on a small hill in the national park. Everybody in the village no matter age helped out to pick / clean / paclk the leafes.
Pay attention to the ladies very red mouth from chewing beetlenut.
The village had a shared toilet ... hihi..
A school with amazing view.
Another type of monkey in the park. So cool :)
In the eveings we stayed inside the bamboo cottage and played loads of games and gossiped.
Pay attention to the cute Santa socks they got from me at arrival on Boxing day.
We walked by a school in a small village and descided to pop in and say hi :)
We where ofcourse invited to the principals office and then visited all classes.
The girls with the english teacher who hardley spoke any english at all.
After the visit at the school we had a picknick on a rubber tree plantation. Do I need to point out how many cars / CNGs / bicykles who stopped on the road staring ? :)
M. Ali at a plantation
This place where closed bacuse its out of season but the guards still let us in through the gates and we snooped around looking through the windows. They also let us buy some tea from them,
Very bad picture but here you can see explanation on how tea is made.

Lichie eco cottage bamboo
Our little house. It was really nice and clean. Must have been quite recently built or renovated. Clean sheets and bathrrom. I can recommend it. It costed 5000 thaka for 3 people 2 nights. And Im sure we can get it cheapr next time when we call them to book instead of going through agent.
The owner also had banana, lemon and pineapple plantations that he let us go see.
M. Ali was so exited to buy some fresh lemons...
He bought 50 pcs !! Only 2 thaka a piece :)
