Explore the enchanting experience of a train journey to Kishoreganj
There’s something quietly adventurous about taking a local train in Bangladesh—especially when the destination is as charming as Kishoreganj. Recently, I took a trip from Dhaka to Kishoreganj on the Egarosindur Provati, and while the journey had its rough edges, it turned out to be a memorable experience.
I started early in
the morning, catching the Egarosindur Provati from Dhaka Biman Bandar Station.
The train itself was quite old, with PT INKA (Indonesia) coach that clearly had
seen many years of service. The seats were worn, the windows slightly dusty,
and the overall condition wasn’t the most comfortable. On top of that, the
train was extremely crowded. People were packed into almost every available
space, and at times it felt a bit overwhelming. Some passengers weren’t
particularly polite either, which added a bit of tension to the journey.
After arriving in Kishoreganj, I had the chance to enjoy some local food. I kept it simple: two pieces of paratha, one egg, and a serving of dal. Sometimes, the simplest meals are the most satisfying, and this was definitely one of those moments. The food was delicious—warm, flavorful, and comforting after the long journey.
I didn’t stay too
long, but the short visit was enough to leave a good impression. When it was
time to return, I took the same train back to Dhaka. The return journey was
quite similar—crowded and a bit chaotic—but by then, I was more prepared for
it.
Overall, the trip wasn’t perfect, but that’s what made it real. Between the crowded train, the rustic travel experience, the beautiful countryside, and the simple yet delicious food, it became a journey worth remembering. Sometimes, it’s not about luxury—it’s about the stories you bring back.
