Himchori (or Himchhori) is an eco park near Cox’s Bazar. During the visit of Cox’s Bazar a lot of tourists pay a visit there during the afternoon as it is very near. I have visited Cox’s Bazar lots of times before but I never felt any interest in visiting Himchori. I don’t know why the place never attracted me. That place has a so-called waterfall with a very narrow stream. Probably people want to go there to see that.
Himchori is just around 5 kilometers away from the main town. You can reach that place by any kind of vehicle. To enter the premises you’d have to buy tickets which were around 20 Taka (now may be 30/40 Taka). Instead of the tiny waterfall I love the scenic beauty from the top of the eco park. Once you climb to the top you’d be able to see the ocean from there. It would be a good idea to watch the sunset from there (if possible). I think the opening and closing time of the Himchori park is 10am to 5pm. We visited that place on our way to Inani beach. So we didn’t stay there for longer.
How to Go:
Being near from the main town it is very easy to go to Himchori eco park. You can go there using a rickshaw, battery driven vehicle, or a rented car. It is only five kilometers from the town. The marine drive road is very attractive as one side is the hills and the other side is the open ocean. On your way to Himchori you’d enjoy the road journey. The GPS coordinate of the Himchori is (21°21’19.9″N, 92°01’32.2″E).
Where to Stay:
As Himchori is near Cox’s Bazar town it is better to stay in the town. Cox’s Bazar is the most busiest tourist destination from Bangladesh. There are numerous hotels around the city which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of visitors. Look for the list of hotels in Cox’s Bazar here.
