1. Sea Shore Drive – by near Bambooflat Jetty

It takes around 15 minutes to spend your time in a boat. 3 vehicle ferries MV Pilopanja, MV Mus & MV Karmatang are for Bambooflat’s service as well as there is a ferry boat  which is fast enough to travel. MV Karmatang is a 2 sided ramped vehicle ferry which gives advantage for one side to enter all the passengers as well as exit form the other side. After disembarking there’s a lot of rush for everyone to get for the transport where you can find jeeps, autos & buses. At the right side of the jetty ahead, just a few steps by walk there you would find sea shore drive where spending the evening gives a much  advantage for self. Mostly locals who reside here used to visit these places at most of the evenings as at that time weather used to be cool & you are able to feel the blow of the breeze. Also if you used to come to these places for a while to check the connectivity of mobile data you would find the connectivity is much better than before as the connectivity is being improved by the government. It is also possible to watch boats disembarking numerous passengers for a single period of time. The most unfavorable thing is that there is a fish market behind the sea shore drive where fishermongers used to sell their fish. Also general public use to fishes that are sold in variety of numbers. If you could tolerate the smell of fishes you try spending  your time here. Not only fishes but also there are stalls of fast foods where if felt hungry you could fulfil your appetite here.
