2 year ago me and my friends decide go for a tour in Lalkhale. It was a memorable journey of my entire university life. At first we were just number of 10-14 persons who were interested to go Lalakhale. But before the journey day of the tour we become number of 67. So, we made a deal with a bus transport to reserve a bus for one day. The deal was fixed for $500 per day.

We first pay our reservation bill for accommodation. The name of the hotel was Nazimgarh Resorts which is located in Khadimnagar very close to Lalakhal. It is better to contact in advance. Otherwise the rooms at the resort may be booked.The cheapest ‘Premier’ room for one night will cost around $85. 3-4 person can easily share those rooms. There was no living cost only for child. The hotel will provide breakfast which is free with room services.
