Trip to Jumbari, Sitakunda

A few weeks ago, I went on a trip to Jumbari, Sitakunda with my friends. It was one of those journeys that stays

with me, not just because of the destination, but because of the experience along the way. Jumbari is a newly developed tourist spot that is still unknown to many people, and that sense of discovering something new made the trip feel special and adventurous. 

The journey began at Sun Valley (Chatteshwari road), where we took a rickshaw to GEC for 50 taka. From there, we boarded a mini CNG to AK Khan, which cost only 15 taka. Next, we took a bus from AK Khan to Sitakunda for 50 taka. After reaching Sitakunda market, we hired an auto-rickshaw for another 50 taka to get closer to Jumbari. 

Once we got off, we walked for about 10–15 minutes, followed by a short hike of around 7–10 minutes to reach the top. The road was dusty and rough because it is still under construction, and at times the journey felt tiring.

However, all the tiredness disappeared the moment we reached the top. The view from Jumbari was absolutely breathtaking. I was surrounded by green hills and dense trees, and the peaceful atmosphere instantly made me feel refreshed. 

At the top, there was a beautifully built bamboo platform connected by a narrow bamboo bridge. Walking across it felt slightly adventurous, and from there I could see nature stretching endlessly around me.

There was also a small bamboo house made of bamboo and straw, reflecting a simple and traditional design. In

front of it, an open sitting area allowed visitors to rest and quietly enjoy the surroundings. 

A Bangladeshi flag flying above the bamboo structure added a sense of pride and beauty to the place. The fresh air, open sky, and calm environment made me forget the noise and rush of city life. 

Despite the dusty road and short hike, Jumbari is absolutely worth the effort. Standing at the top, surrounded by greenery and fresh air, made me forget all the exhaustion of the journey. 

If you love hidden gems, quiet natural places, and a little adventure, Jumbari is a place you should definitely visit. Go with friends, wear comfortable shoes, carry water, and take your time to enjoy the view. This place is still raw and peaceful, visit it before it becomes crowded.

Note: From my experience, if you are a foreigner or unfamiliar with Sitakunda, it is better to know the price first before taking a local rickshaw. The actual fare to Jumbari is around 50 taka, but sometimes drivers may ask for more.
