Bogalake, an inscriptive endowment of beauty and pleasure at Bandarban, Bangladesh
Nature
lovers always feel a thirst inside for beauty, thrill and enchantment.
And the holy nature has bestowed Bangladesh with an overwhelming and
unparallel creature which is publicly known as Boga Lake. Bogalake is
considered as a source of wonder, unlimited beauty and adventure for the
nature`s lovers and travelers. So Boga Lake is waiting with its unique
beauty for those adventurous travelers who just not only want to satisfy
their eyes with artificial and tedious natural beauties but also want
to fill their heart with eternal joy and thrill to innovate their
restless mind. And it has emerged like a holy duty of the travelers and
tourists to visit the Boga Lake as soon as possible to highlight the
beauty with thrill.
The origin
of the name Boga lake is derived from some domestic mythological
stories. The word Boga is derived from the local word Baga which means a
dragon or fire. Actually some super natural stories flame the fire
about the lake being the accommodation of an ancient dragon indeed and
that concludes the story of the identification of Boga lake
Anthropologists
define Boga lake as 2000 year old hill enclaved natural lake of
Bandarban,Bangladesh. Boga lake is accompanied with deep bamboo bushes
from its three sides wich are bounded by mountain peaks. Again, Boga
lake is recognized as the highest natural lake of Bangladesh which is
approximately 1500 ft above the sea level. Boga lake has a rectangular
shap either funnel shape. But some experts argue that the Boga lake is
about (3000-3700) fts above the sea levels indeed. The lake is supposed
to be 38 meter deep. There remains a small spring beside the Boga lake
which is called Bagachhara (153m deep). Boga lake is a closed lake and
to drain out water there is no outlet. Basically Bagachhara is the
fundamental source of water along with surface drainage, rain water and
seepage of spring, soft and small rocks of different shapes have almost
covered Boga lake surface.
The beauty
and attraction of the Boga lake changes with the color change of the
lake. Depending on various indicators like sun rays, clouds` humidity
and the so called existence of a hot spring at the bottom of the Boga
lake the water of the Boga lake takes different color at different
seasons. But usually the lake water shows its extra –ordinary crystal
clear mirror view of blue shade which reflects like pearls and more than
enough to astonish a tourist guy.
It is easy
to imagine for the common people that almost 1500 ft above sea level
and unfavorable natural area of Boga lake has made it without any
existence of human community or barren area indeed. But the tourists and
travelers will feel relieved to know that they will find numbers of
local tribes like Bawm or Bom, Khumi and others on their way and in the
Boga lake area too.
Accomodation
The local
tribal communities have interesting arrangements for the tourists and
travelers accommodation of the Boga Lake. They have built small but
attractive cottages with sufficient facilities within their range.
