All Stars Daffodil successfully completed their first ever official tour in their club history and they named it as a “Dream of Stars”. All Stars Daffodil is not just a club, it is like a family. And who doesn't want a refreshment tour with his or her family members? So, they planned for a tour. For them it was more than just a dream to visit to Shajek Valley, they worked so hard to make it happen and yes, they made it possible. They were able to enjoy the breath taking scenery of nature.




Day one: They started their journey at 11.30 pm from Dhaka on 28 April 2017. After enjoying an amazing journey they reached to their lovely cottages in Megh Machang on the next morning (29 April 2017) and it was in their dream place, Shajek Valley. They felt like it was another home because the environment and the cottages were very comfortable. After taking an awesome lunch they went to Konglak Pahar, reaching there flawlessly with all of the members was indeed a challenge but they did it. Then happily and safely they spent the night after enjoying an impressive dinner.

Day two:  In the second day, they woke up early to enjoy the cloud waves. After taking breakfast they went to Hajachara waterfall on 30 April 2017. They went to Alutila cave, Tareng, Risang, Oporajita, Jhulonto Bridge, these places were undoubtedly stunning and the sunset was also magnificent. Then after a superb dinner they again started their journey towards Dhaka.



A tour with family is always precious. Sometimes words can't express how deeply hearts can feel. They said that they will never forget this tour because now their bonding with each and every members of this club has become stronger and more powerful. And yes, they have experienced the things that were splendid and beyond their imagination. They have achieved their first dream, now they have to achieve more and more.
