The most interesting place on the Thanchi-Alikadam road is the Dim Hill. The mountain looks like an egg. The local Mro tribes call this hill ‘Crowdong’ hill. Such a beautiful mountain can not be found anywhere else in Bangladesh. If you come to this hill by bike, a strange cold wind will make your whole body tremble. The egg hill is so close to the clouds that it feels like there is always cold air. Coldness can be felt directly. Even in the scorching heat, when the eggs reach the hill, the cold air freezes. And the beautiful scenery that can be seen from the mountains will remain in the memory of the lyric forever. Waterfalls are flowing along the rocky slopes of the dense green hills. The murmur of the cool water of the fountain echoes the surrounding environment. On the other hand, the white clouds in the sky can be touched by standing on the road in the egg hill!

History Of Road Construction On Dim Pahar
The construction work of this road started in 1999. In the first two years, the Department of Roads and Highways (RHD) completed the construction of only 8 km of roads. Then the RHD informed that it was not possible for them to build a road on the top of the hill. If the RHD fails to build the road, the Bangladesh Army is called in to build the road. Then in 2001 the army was given the responsibility to build the road. The road map was made by helicopter by the army. Then the path is made by cutting the body of the hill after hill. The engineering department of the army worked tirelessly for a decade to build the road. All the people, including Thanchi Alikadam, are grateful to the ECB 16 and 17 units of the Army for constructing the road. The construction of this 35 km long road has cost around Tk 120 crore. And it took about 1 decade. Three members of the Army Engineering Corps died in various accidents during construction. The road distance between Thanchi and Alikadam, two neighboring upazilas of Bandarban, was 190 km. This road was opened to the public on July 14, 2015. The distance is only 33 kilometers. Around this road, one can find innumerable streams, Fountains and waterfalls.

Tips And Warning
- A recent DBC News report showed a surprising phenomenon in Dim Pahar. When the car is parked on a flat surface of the road, it automatically starts moving downwards. Drivers therefore park their cars carefully. Just don’t name that car downwards. As people walk, it seems that someone invisible has pulled them down. A DBC News reporter spoke to a professor in the Department of Physics at Chittagong University. He said maybe the gravitational force isn’t working there. However, a special magnetic test is needed to find out.
- The life journey of indigenous people is not like that of flat people, do not do anything that disrespects them.
- Not all mobile networks are available, Teletalk and Robi networks are good.
- The lower the weight of your backpack, the easier the trekking will be. It is the condition of traveling the hilly areas.
