My
visit
to
Lawachara
was
a
fantastic
experience.
Considered
one
of
the
largest
national
parks
in
Bangladesh,
it
showcases
numerous
rare
species
of
trees,
animals,
and
insects.
Walking
through
the
forest,
you'll
notice
a
significant
drop
in
temperature,
especially
during
winter.
The
train
line
running
through
the
forest
adds
to
the
scenic
ambiance,
making
it
a
delightful
sight.
Despite
being
a
peaceful
forest,
maintaining
it
requires
considerable
effort.
Unfortunately,
visitors
sometimes
disturb
the
natural
animals
by
throwing
stones
and
shouting,
and
authorities
often
fail
to
address
this
issue.
The
presence
of
a
busy
rail
line
within
the
forest
poses
a
threat
to
animals,
as
they
are
sometimes
killed
by
fast-moving
trains.
In
conclusion,
Lawachara
is
a
must-visit
destination
for
nature
enthusiasts,
offering
a
captivating
experience
amidst
its
diverse
flora
and
fauna.
