Visitors should use Panipara, Naragati and the full name of the resort when asking for directions.
By bus from Dhaka
- Start your journey from Dhaka: Find an intercity bus that plies to Narail, Kalia, Lohagara or any other suitable junction in southwest Bangladesh. Confirm the exact route and final stop with the operator.
- Use the Padma Bridge Road Corridor where applicable: Many road services in southern Bangladesh use the Dhaka–Mawa–Padma Bridge–Bhanga corridor. The appropriate onward route depends on the bus operator and the chosen destination.
- Confirm your interchange: Depending on the service, passengers may have to change vehicles at Narail town, Lohagara, Bhatiapara or another local junction. Older tourist accounts also mention Dighalia bus stand as a possible regional landmark. Do not assume that all buses pass through the same interchange.
- Proceed towards Kalia and Naragatai: Take any available local bus, shared transport or reserved vehicle towards Panipara. Ask the driver to confirm the correct turnoff for Arunima Resort Golf Club.
- Complete the final stage: The last rural road section may require a local easy bike, autorickshaw or reserved vehicle.
Estimated travel budget: Allow around 500–1,200 taka per person for a typical intercity bus journey from Dhaka to a suitable interchange in the Narail area, depending on the operator, class and route. This will require additional costs for local transport. This is a rough estimate, not a verified current fare or guaranteed direct service.
From Dhaka by private car or rented microbus
Private cars offer greater convenience, especially for families with luggage or travelers unfamiliar with rural transportation systems. Follow a suitable road towards Narail and Kalia, then follow confirmed local directions to Panipara and the resort entrance. Depending on the starting point and destination, the Dhaka to Padma Bridge corridor can be a convenient route.
As this route includes regional and rural roads, allow extra time for traffic jams, road works and the final stretch. Depending on the route and traffic, the journey from Dhaka by road can take around five to seven hours or more. Travelers should confirm the route with the resort before setting off, rather than relying solely on the estimated travel time shown on the map.
Vehicle Rental Estimate: A private car with a driver for a long intercity journey can cost several thousand taka, which usually requires a budget of approximately ৳7,000–৳12,000 or more. A microbus rental can cost approximately ৳10,000–৳18,000 or more, depending on the rental period, distance, fuel, driver fees, and tolls. These are not guaranteed prices, but are just a general idea of the plan. Find out the detailed cost of each cost and confirm the Padma Bridge toll arrangements separately.
From Narail District Headquarters

- To make the journey easier, arrange for a reserved car or locally available vehicle in Narail town and provide the driver with the full address of the resort.
Local Fare Guide: Shared regional transport routes can cost an estimated 80–250 taka per person, while short-distance local auto-rickshaw or easy-bike journeys can cost around 30–150 taka per passenger. Reserved auto-rickshaw or CNG journeys on long rural routes can cost several hundred taka or more. These are unverified approximate fare ranges, not fixed fares for guaranteed services on the Narail to Arunima route. Please confirm the total fare and destination before boarding the vehicle.
By train
For tourists who prefer to combine train travel with road transport, rail travel can be an option. Search for passenger trains currently running from Dhaka to Narail area railway stations on the Dhaka-Jashore rail corridor. The station will be most convenient depending on the services available, timetables and road connectivity to Panipara.
- Check Bangladesh Railway timetable and ticket availability for your scheduled travel date.
- Choose a station that has convenient road connections to Kalia or Naragata.
- Arrange for a local bus, reserved car, or other available transportation for the remainder of the journey.

The resort does not have its own passenger train station and the final leg of the journey has to be completed by road. Train fares vary depending on the service and seat class.
By air
Jessore Airport is a convenient regional airport for tourists coming from other parts of Bangladesh , if there are suitable flights operating there. Arrange for a private car or other road transport from Jessore to Narail, Kalia, Naragati and Panipara. Before arriving, confirm the most convenient route and the total cost of the trip.
Flights, schedules, and airport transportation arrangements may vary. For travelers who are already in Dhaka, direct road travel may be easier than a long road trip with a domestic flight.
