The Chittagong Hill Tracts is topographically the only hill-intensive area of Bangladesh. It is situated in the southeast of Bangladesh. The inhabitants of the Hill Tracts are mostly tribal. The life of the tribal people is extremely fascinating. The mountainous rugged terrain with deep forests, lakes, and falls gives it a divergent character from the rest of Bangladesh.

In the Chittagong Hill Tracts, the Upper Tertiary sandy-argillaceous sediments have been folded into a series of long sub-meridional anticlines and synclines represented in the surface topography by elongated hill ranges and intervening valleys

We have designed this impressive tour for those who love the most spectacular greenery and hilly area of Bangladesh!
