| Moheshkhali Island covers an
area of approximately two hundred and sixty-eight square
kilometers, and is blanketed in breathtaking mangrove
jungles, spectacular ranges of hills and striking
landscapes, with some hills standing at just over three
hundred meters. It is these rare natural qualities that
lure visitors to the island. The island has been the
subject of great debates between conservationists and
government officials, in regard to protecting
Moheshkhali against deforestation and harm to
the
wildlife and vegetation. Some of the main
attractions on Moheshkhali are the picturesque and
peaceful beaches. The Shrine of Adinath, which is
dedicated to Shiva, the quaint Buddhist temple and the
pagoda are also stunning attractions to visit on the
island. The recent completion of the Shaheed Ziaur
Rahman Bir Uttam Bridge has connected the island to the
mainland, but traveling to Moheshkhali by boat is
recommended, as it is terrific way to catch precious
memories on film and add another adventure to your
exploration of Bangladesh. The two lane bridge has made
life much easier for the islanders, allowing them to
travel and move goods. They are known for the production
of salt, battle leaf and shrimp. The bridge is three
hundred and forty-seven meters in length and just over
seven meters wide.
Moheshkhali has a unique and harmonious atmosphere.
Visitors will enjoy the simplicity of the island
lifestyle and are guaranteed to meet very colorful
characters along the way. How and where to start
discovering the magic of Moheshkhali is up to you, but
the island will provide an unforgettable journey through
one of the most beautiful destinations in Bangladesh.
