:: The Lakes ::

Famous Kaptai Lake, the largest "man-made" lake, spreading over 680 sq. km. of crystal-clean water flanked by hills and evergreen forests lies in the Rangamati Hill District.

The lake was formed when the Karnaphuli river dam (153 feet high, 1800 feet long crest) was built for the purpose of hydroelectric power project at Kaptai.

 The old Rangamati town was submerged under lake water and a new town had to be built later.

The lake is full of fish and provides facilities for cruising, swimming and skiing.

There are also facilities for angling and short trip by Sampan, local name for country boats. 

 :: Rangamati ::      

 If you don't visit Rangamati you will not discover a big portion of natural beauties of Bangladesh.

From Chittagong a 77 km. road amidst green fields and winding hills will take you to Rangamati .

It is also connected by waterway from Kaptai.  This is the only place to visit through out the year.

Rangamati expresses her full beauty in rainy season. Trees becoming greener, waterfalls are in full tide, the river Karnaphuli in her full wave in this season.

If you already visited Rangamati in winter, we advice to go there again in monsoon; you will feel the difference of nature yourself.

Boating is the prime attraction in Rangamati. You can go to Kaptai and also by Karnaphuli River you can go deep in side the hill areas where on the way you will find lots of natural waterfalls.

If you wish you can take shower in the waterfall or you can swim in the river.

By boat you can visit the tribal villages, King Chakma's (tribal) Palace that is called Chakma Rajbari, Rajbonbihar pagoda, Tribal museum etc. You can also enjoy the tribal handmaid crafts if you go for shopping in the local market.
