Paradise Point is located
an hour and
15 minutes
straight up
north
from Dhaka. From Zia International Airport, it is
approximately
65
kilometers north,
past Tongi, past the National Forest, and past such locations
as Fu-wang Foods, and RAK Ceramics, (these
serve as guide posts
as they are clearly visible from the highway). After
an hour or
so
of normal driving from the Zia International Airport circle,
watch for a brick gate like column on each side of the highway
which divides Gazipur district from Mymensingh District. (the
columns say something to the effect
“Welcome to
Zila Parishad Mymensingh”).
The bazaar just before this gate is called
Joina
Bazaar.
Around
one Km
ahead
on the right hand side of the highway you should have
just passed
a brick boundary wall with a sign
“Esquire
Spinning”.
A few hundred feet ahead,
watch for a
small green sign “Paradise Point, a peaceful easy feeling”, on
the
left side of the highway.
Fronting the property, rows and rows of mahogany trees
camouflage the paradise within.
Enter the gate, drive all the way back and enter Paradise.
The land area of Paradise Point is 5.5 acres, of which 3.5
acres are dedicated to the mahogany plantation, and 2 acres at
the rear of the property consist of gardens, the bungalow, a
15000 sft pond stocked with Pangash fish. Lovely walkways,
gazebos, and flowers abound this area.
The bungalow has two bedrooms/two baths, living/dining
combination and a kitchen.
There is a
huge verandah (my favorite) and a large tiled deck where one
can sit and relax overlooking the pond.
Adjacent is a large aviary with many kinds of birds. Inside
the bungalow, along with all furniture, a stereo system/tv/vcd
player (movies) are available for your enjoyment. Various
other games such as backgammon, scrabble, chess, and darts are
also available.
Should one care to try a bit of angling, there is a small
wooden country boat and a rod/reel can be provided. There is
nothing more delicious than catching a fish and then having it
served within a short while. Believe me folks, it doesn’t get
any fresher. |
