What Trisha saying about this place:
Apart from the big office area, there's a hilly road inside which will direct you towards a high peak. This is gonna be a long walk. So choose you shoes wisely and carry drinking water. You'll find stairs in places to climb up the hill. When you get to the peak finally after hell of a long walk, you'll find the view totally worth it. The whole Cumilla town will be under your feet. The greenery will keep you charmed.

While we were climbing through the hilly roads inside BARD, it was being dark. Evening was near. So we couldn’t go to the peak. While climbing down, we saw the sunset there. The sun was hiding behind the hills. Shadows were falling upon the trees. It's one of the the prettiest sunset I've ever witnessed.

This hilly environment of the place took out my heart. It seemed so beautiful! As the place is restricted, it wasn’t crowded at all. There are circuit houses and residential areas, bunglows of the officers working there at places in the direction of the hill. We found a "Oalash tree" there for which the area seemed like a carpet of fire red Palash flower. We did a bit photography with the flowers.

This is a local development project started at the year 1960. This place studies the life of local rural people and their life and works for the development. There are research rooms, office rooms there in an L-shaped building with a long balcony in the front. There's a nice garden with colorful blooming flower plants. This was a place of gathering knowledge for us.
