We decided to go  Keo-Kra-Dong on December 2005. Because all of my friends were busy with their study or jobs. So it was not possible to go their in the middle of the year. Thus we waited 6 months. Actually I was not so involve in all necessary planning and arrangement because of my busy time. My friends Jasim Bhai, Nipu and Rajib was closely involve in all kind of arrangement. We were 5 friends all together - Rajib, Topu, Emon, Jashim Vai, Nipu and me.

Keo-Kra-Dong is the most beautiful place that I had ever seen up to that time. I can’t explain how beautiful the place is. It is very beautiful place. The tour was full of adventure. It was too hard to walk in a hilly way. Actually none will understand it without walking in hilly path.

At the first day of tracking, we started walking at 8am from Ruma Bazar and finished walking at 5pm.All day we walked on the hilly path and walking in hilly way is 20 times harder compare walking in a normal road.There were life risks also. One of my friend was Emon. He shocked see the hilly way and became very nervous and wanted to come back to Dhaka. But we overcome the critical situation.After 5pm we reach a village near to Boga Lake. And we surprised to see the beauty of Boga Lake. The lake was very beautiful. Next day we visited Keo-Kra-Dong after half day tracking in hilly way. We was so excited that we felt like we have won the world cup. That was a wonderful experience for all of us. It’s true that I will never forget this journey in my life.

 Memorable Moments:

• Emon was very nervous to see the hilly way. So he wanted to come back to Dhaka. Night before the first day of tracking, he was very nervous.
• We thought that we will walk in the hilly way with our bags which was full of many shirt and pants. But later we have realized that we have to take only urgent items. Otherwise it will be very hard to walk in the hilly way.
• Jasim’s bhai thread us by saying - “You all don’t know how to walk in Hilly path”.
