What Mamunur Rahman saying about this place:
We travelled to Kutubdia island by a direct bus service from Chittagong to Mognama. You can also take a CNG from Chokoria. It's also a wise idea if you to hop into a Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar bus and drop at Chokoria Bazar. There is boat and speedboat costing 60 tk per petson taking only 10/15 minutes to go to Kutubdia jetty. Then we hired a rickshaw to wander around the place.
