Davis Falls

Davis Falls is about 2 kilometers from the airport. There is a tragic event behind the naming of the waterfall. In 1961, a Swiss woman drowned in a waterfall. The waterfall was named after him, Davis Falls.

On the second level, four statues of Buddha are displayed, each from another country - Dharmachakra Mudra from Japan, Bodh Gaya from Sri Lanka, Kushinagar from Thailand and Lumbini from Nepal. The statues are modeled on the biography of the Buddha. The 'Dharmachakra Mudra' signifies the life of the Buddha, the religion and the wheel of the Buddha's teachings, and the 'Bodhgaya' symbolizes wisdom and compassion. The residence of the statue of Lord Buddha is in a temple next to the stupa. If you want to study temple architecture and immerse yourself in Buddhist teachings and scriptures, you must visit Pokhara Peace Stupa.

Whose name is 'Chameri Cave'. There are a lot of bats inside it. The path is a little dangerous because of the rock formations and algae.

Cambodia Tour

Cambodia Tour Although Colombia and Cambodia are located on two continents, many people confuse the two countries. Cambodia is a small country in Asia. Between Vietnam and Thailand, the country is famous for a number of prehistoric sites. However, despite being an Asian country, the number of western tourists is a bit higher than that of Asians. Those who are planning to travel to Thailand or Singapore can visit this country with an extra day or two in hand. There will be no problem with visa here. Visas can be easily obtained at the Cambodian Embassy in Thailand or Singapore for a fee of BDT 4,200. Since there is no Cambodian embassy in Bangladesh, there is no way to get a visa in advance. However, the government of the country has recently provided on-arrival visa facility for Bangladeshi citizens, so Bangladeshi passport-holders will be able to get visa even if they go there. A 45-minute flight from Bangkok or a one-and-a-half hour flight from Singapore will cost 11,000-16,000 rupee...

Completed in 1999, this iconic landmark hotel sits on an artificial island and comes with its own helipad and a fleet of chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce limousines. Beyond the striking lobby, with its gold-leaf opulence and attention-grabbing fountain, lie 202 suites with more trimmings than a Christmas turkey. The Burj Al Arab is worth visiting if only to gawk at an interior that’s every bit as garish as the exterior is gorgeous. The mood is set in the 590ft-high lobby, which is decorated in a red, blue and green color scheme and accented with pillars draped in gold leaf. The lobby atrium is tall enough to fit the Statue of Liberty within it. If you’re not checking into the Burj Al Arab, you need to make a reservation for cocktails, afternoon tea or a meal to get past lobby securi...
