When visiting a khashia village you should first call in on the local chief, as the community will not extend full hospitality without his permission. The khashia punji MAGURCHERRA is on the edge of the ruined Magurcherra gas field, 8 Km. from Srimangal on the road to Kamalganj. The gas field caught fire in 1997 and was ablaze for three months, laying waste to betel-nut plantations and tea estates in the vicinity.

There is a Monipuri village called Ramnagar close to the Bangladesh tea research institute; if you call in on the institute you will be able to get direction.
