Travel post (18-09-2025) || After a long time, I am leaving Dhaka for my hometown Khulna.
Assalamualaikum all of my friends. How are you all? I hope you all are well. I am also fine. Today I welcome you all to my new travel post and today I am presenting to you a wonderful bus trip I took on September 18, 2025.
That day, I left Dhaka for my hometown Khulna after breakfast and went to a place called Dhaka Gulistan. Then I went to the bus counter from Dhaka to Khulna and collected a ticket from there. In this case, I collected a ticket for a non-AC bus which cost Bangladeshi 650 Taka or 40.6 Steem. After collecting the ticket, I boarded the 9:30 AM Tungipara Express bus to Khulna.

The bus left the counter for Khulna at the scheduled time and I saw that the sky was quite cloudy and the surrounding environment was quite cold which made my bus journey more enjoyable. To be honest, I like to travel in such weather because cold weather makes me feel like I am enjoying the journey. In a while, our bus got on the overbridge in Dhaka and I captured some pictures of it on my mobile camera.
The scenes on the over bridge were entertaining, so I took my mobile phone to take pictures and recorded several videos. Basically, I wanted to capture some part of my joyous journey on my mobile phone through video and photography. The bus I was traveling in quickly crossed the over bridge and came back down on the road in a short time.
We have already left the place called Dhaka Jatrabari and then our bus is again speeding towards Khulna. Since I was sitting on the window seat, I could enjoy the outside views very well. During the journey, the cool breeze of nature was blowing on me and our bus was moving forward at a fast speed which I felt quite good. In a while, our bus crossed the Dhaka Buriganga River. The video above is actually a video of me crossing the Buriganga River that I captured on my mobile phone.

After a short while, we crossed the Buriganga River and moved further ahead and then again enjoyed the views on both sides of the Dhaka-Khulna road. Since our country is a riverine country, different rivers, big and small, can be seen in different parts of our country. Within a few moments of crossing the Buriganga River, I again saw a small river, the picture of which I captured on my mobile. At the same time, I recorded a video of the roads after crossing that river.
Within just 1 hour of leaving Dhaka, our bus approached the Padma Bridge, the largest river in Bangladesh, and our bus stopped in front of the toll plaza. On this bridge built over the Padma River, small and large vehicles including buses and trucks, and trains ply on the lower lane road which was built a few years ago.
After paying the toll at the toll plaza, our bus moved forward again at a fast pace. Since it was a highway and the road was empty, our bus was very fast. Within a short time, we climbed onto the Padma Bridge and captured the entire video of the Padma River from the bridge built on the Padma River. The communication system between the capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka, and Khulna and Barisal divisions has been further improved by the rain built on the Padma River.
The Padma River is one of the vast rivers of Bangladesh, which is why it takes us several minutes to cross this river and after crossing the river, our bus moves forward again on a specific path. One of the nice things is that while going from Khulna to Dhaka or coming from Dhaka to Khulna, you can see many small and big overbridges and bridges. On which the views on both sides can be enjoyed quite a lot while the bus is moving.

The atmosphere around the cloudy sky was quite beautiful and the views on both sides of the road were surrounded by greenery which I liked a lot. Every year during the rainy season, the natural scenery of our country becomes more beautiful. Because at this time the trees are seen in their true form, in this case the leaves of the trees take on a dark green color. After our bus moved further, I captured the views on both sides of the road through my mobile phone.
We had already traveled for about three hours and our bus stopped at a petrol pump in Gopalganj for a break. Then I and the other passengers got off the bus for this 10-minute break and everyone freshened up in the washroom of the petrol pump as needed.
In the meantime, after getting off the bus and freshening up, I bought a sandwich from there and ate it during the break because I was feeling hungry by then. Our bus had a 10 minute break there so I walked around the petrol pump for some time and ate the food I had bought. After 10 minutes there was a sound from a microphone at the petrol pump asking us to get on the bus because by then our break was over so I quickly got on the bus and took my seat.
Our bus moved forward again and quickly ran towards Khulna. In a short while, Gopalganj district would end and Khulna division would begin, which made me feel very happy. Basically, I love my city a lot, so when I enter my city, I feel very peaceful. In some time, our bus crossed Gopalganj and Bagerhat districts and reached in front of the Khulna Rupsha Bridge toll plaza.

After paying the toll plaza toll as before, our bus started its journey towards Khulna city again. In this case, in a short time, our bus reached the Khulna Rupsa Bridge and this rain is very important for the people of Khulna. Moreover, on various holidays, the people of Khulna come to visit this bridge to enjoy the beautiful view of both sides of this bridge. When the bus was crossing the Rupsa Bridge, I took my mobile in my hand and recorded the video there for some time.
In a very short time, our bus crossed the Rupsha Bridge and quickly stopped at a place called Khulna Zero Point. Then I saw that several passengers of our bus had got down there and after the passengers finished their prayers, our bus resumed its journey. In this case, our bus traveled through the bypass road for some time and I saw that Kashban was visible on both sides of the road. Basically, Kashful blooms in the autumn season, which is the right time now.
This Kashful garden on both sides of the road in my city fascinated me because Kashful is very beautiful to look at. I saw many people on both sides of the road visiting the Kashful garden. I will end my journey in a short time because our bus has already entered the city of Khulna. So I enjoyed this joyous journey as much as I could.
After completing the journey of just 10 minutes from Khulna city, I got down at the Phulbari bus stand and already started my joyous journey. But interestingly, I noticed that it had rained a little in our city Khulna and the sun was shining all around. Then I took an auto-rickshaw to my home and thus ended my joyous journey like that day.
