Meet Sukhen Tanchangya

I’m Sukhen Tanchangya. I’m 43, and I’m from Kaptai in Rangamati, Bangladesh. I work as a freelancer and blogger, but the outdoors is what keeps me grounded.

For some people, camping is just a weekend hobby. For me, it’s the easiest way to step out of the busy world and breathe again. I love waking up to birds, finding quiet water, cooking a simple meal outside, and ending the day by a small fire.

Outdoor Awaits is where I share what I’ve learned — what to pack, what to avoid, how to stay comfortable in bad weather, and how to make outdoor trips feel smoother and safer. If you’re looking for adventure, calm, or just a break from routine, welcome. Let’s head outside, one camp at a time.
