How to go
If you wish to visit the Deul, you have to reach the Madhukhali Thana. If you are from Faridpur town, you can take bus from the New Bus Stand of the town. There are lots of local bus that runs on that path.
Also some buses of Magura, Jhenaidah used to start from the stand. You can take those too. What you have to do is, just get down from the bus at “Madhukhali Bazar”. It will take you around 20 taka for the trip, and will cost your 40 minutes. After reaching the bus stand, take a rickshaw. It will be better if you take rickshaw for round trip. That means, after visiting the Deul, you’ll return with the same rickshaw. Otherwise it will be hard for you to find a rickshaw from that place. For round trip, and additional 10 minutes for visiting the Deul, it will cost 30 taka.
