Chondi mura temple is located at the top of a hillock and you have to climb there using the stairs. It’s tiresome to reach the top. But don’t worry, you’d have the whole stairs covered with evergreen trees. And at any stage you could have a break by supporting your body on the railing of the stairs. You can see a long distance from there as you have already climbed a few.
Most of the tourist spots (from Comilla) are somewhere around the other side of Shalbon Bihar of Comilla. But this Chondi mura temple is quite isolated from those places. This is at the southern end of the Lalmai Hill. That’s why mostly the devoted people go there only. Very few tourists like us go there.
Chondi mura temple premise is mainly having two temples. Each of those are having two small compartments are joined together (considered as single one). Left side temple is the Shiva temple and the right side one is Chondi temple. We went there from Laksham and after visiting we headed towards the Moynamoti through the Poduar Bazar. We used local bus services throughout this journey to save money.
How to Go:
To visit Chondi mura temple you have to come to Lalmai Bazar first. From the bazaar, it’s 10 Taka auto rickshaw fare for each person. The GPS coordinate of the temple is (23°21’9.62″N, 91° 7’52.42″E). There is a bus (named Bolaka) that runs through a road which is exactly beside the temple. You could take that bus from the Poduar Bazar of Comilla Bishwa road. It’s 15 Taka per person and around 15 minutes of bus ride.
