Local tips

Getting There
-
Walking
Lal Dighi is centrally located in Cox's Bazar town, making it easily accessible on foot from many nearby hotels and the main beach area. From Bangabandhu Road, walk inland towards the center of town. The pond is located near the main market area and is easily identifiable. The walk is generally flat and takes about 5-10 minutes from most central locations.
-
Rickshaw
Rickshaws are a readily available and affordable mode of transport within Cox's Bazar. From locations further away, such as the Hotel Motel Zone or Kolatoli Beach, a short rickshaw ride to Lal Dighi is convenient. Tell the rickshaw puller 'Lal Dighi' (pronounced 'Lal Dee-ghee'). A typical fare from these areas should range from 30-50 BDT, but negotiate the price beforehand.
-
Taxi/Ride-Share
Taxis and ride-sharing services (like Uber or CNG auto-rickshaws booked via apps) are available in Cox's Bazar. Use these for a direct route to Lal Dighi, especially if coming from the airport or locations outside the central town area. Input 'Lal Dighi' into the app or instruct the driver. Fares vary depending on distance and time of day, but expect to pay around 80-150 BDT from the airport or Hotel Motel Zone. Confirm the fare before starting your journey.
