Rangamati, a
small town located amongst the green hills, lakes and rivers of the Chittagong
Hill Tracts. This is what makes it a prime Bangladesh hill destination.
It is known as the Lake City of Bangladesh as this
place is located on the bank of the beautiful Kaptai Lake. It
is the administrative headquarter of the Rangamati Hill District, the largest
district of Bangladesh and located some 77 kilometres away from Chittagong. For
long time Rangamati has been a prime Bangladesh tourist destination for its location, scenic beauty,
colourful tribal people, tribal homespun textiles and ivory jewellery.
The rich natural resources, diverse flora and fauna makes
Rangamati a Bangladesh Eco-Tourism destination. The road leading to
Rangamati circles and winds through hilly terrains covered with lush green forests and creates a memorable experience for years to come. A stay
here provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of various tribes living there. The ethnic tribes of
Rangamati are the Chakma, Marma, Tonchongya, Tripura, Murong, Bome, Khumi, Kheyang, Chak, Pankhoa, and Lusai. The
mix of different races, cultures, religions and customs creates an interesting
community at Rangamati. It is said that without visiting Rangamati a tourist
will miss a colourful slice of Bangladesh.
Best time to visit Rangamati during October
to February as the temperature remains cool and usually there is no rainfall,
however, the beauty of Rangamati unleashes during the monsoon as the forest
becomes greener, bursts with life and the rivers and waterfalls becomes
replenished.
Some place list to visit:
Kaptai Lake:
This large man made lake of Bangladesh spanning over an area of approximately 11000km2, was created as a
reservoir when the Kaptai dam was built during the 1960s. The lake was created
by flooding valleys and plain lands between numerous hills. This created a picturesque
view as forested hills and plateaus rise from beneath the water. The government run tourism corporation and private operators
offer Kaptai Lake Cruise Tours, which is worth of
it.
Shuvolong a place in Borokol sub district,
located about 25kilometers (11kilometers – as the crow flies) away from
