Penniless Travelers : Tour to Bandarban on a Low Budget

[Rubaida Easmin]

With our ever-expanding bucket lists, rife with extreme sports and exotic locations, we often lose sight of the beauty that exists in our own backyard. Sure, who wouldn't want to spend the next weekend sipping an authentic Café au Lait in a dainty French bistro? As charming as that may be, sometimes, there's just no alternative to the inexplicable joy of exploring home. But when time is limited and so is your wallet, you have to keep your desires in check - but to what extent? That is, exactly what I set out to find on my two-day trip to Bandarban - with a budget of four thousand.
