Chander Gari (moon cars) have emerged as the newest draw for tourists visiting Cox’s Bazar’s scenic Marine Drive.
As dusk settles or the first light breaks, visitors of all ages are taking these open-top vehicles to enjoy the winding road that runs along the roaring Bay of Bengal—making the stretch livelier than ever.
Many tourists say the open-air design, the rush of sea breeze and the constant sound of crashing waves create a unique travel experience.
For families and groups of friends, moon-car rides have quickly become a preferred way to explore the 80-kilometre coastal route.
Drivers say the rising number of visitors on Marine Drive has boosted the popularity of these vehicles, keeping them busy throughout the day.
For most tourists, it’s about capturing photos, shooting videos and soaking in the natural beauty without any rush.
Locals believe that improved safety measures and better road management would make moon-car trips along Marine Drive even more enjoyable and secure for tourists.
