- Extra charges in SajekThe jeep charts add ৳20 per person and ৳100 per vehicle, outside the fare.
- Returning in the afternoonThe jeep charts add ৳500 on overnight fares if you return in the afternoon, so ask which fares this covers.
- Counter numberOne chart lists 01641-644244 for the Khagrachhari Sarak Paribahan Jeep Malik Samity.
How Many People Fit?
- Reported maximum
- 12 passengers
- Older sources say
- 12 to 15 people
- Real limit
- Your luggage and comfort
Dhaka Tribune reports (opens in a new tab) that fares are set for a vehicle carrying up to 12 passengers, and the Mahindra counter chart sets the same limit. Twelve people with small backpacks is very different from twelve with suitcases, so tell your operator about any large bags.
- Couples and small groupsThe Tourism Board suggests joining another group, so agree the meeting point and return plan. A Tripzic group trip is another option.
- Larger groupsYou save the most. Let one person handle the driver, payment and passenger list, so the driver gets one set of instructions.
Chander Gari or Something Else?
| Chander Gari or jeep | Mahindra or CNG | |
|---|---|---|

| Reserved for you | Yes | Depends on the arrangement |

Does It Include Sightseeing?

Not automatically. Sightseeing is a separate, higher fare, so if someone quotes ৳9,300, ask what's included.
Reported spots around Khagrachhari include Alutila cave, Richang waterfall and the suspension bridge. Ask for the exact itinerary, and confirm that the same vehicle stays with you, particularly if you plan to visit Konglak Hill.

- Choose the vehicle with careLook at the tyres, brakes and seats, and ask for another vehicle if you aren't happy.
- Sit insideDon't stand, lean out or ride on the roof, and keep children seated.
- Slow down in rainAsk your driver not to rush on wet bends. It's not worth it for a viewpoint.
- Follow the convoyTourist vehicles normally travel with an escort at set times.
The Tourist Police, Rangamati Zone (opens in a new tab) is one place to report a safety problem on the Sajek side. In an emergency, call 999.
