The lake, ringed by thick tropical and semi-evergreen forests, looks like nothing else in Bangladesh.

• Chittagong Hill Tracts - Decidedly untypical of Bangladesh in topography and culture, the Chittagong Hill Tracts have steep jungle hills, Buddhist tribal peoples and relatively low density population. The tracts are about 60km (37mi) east of Chittagong. The region comprises a mass of hills, ravines and cliffs covered with dense jungle, bamboo, creepers and shrubs, and has four main valleys formed by the Karnapuli, Feni, Shangu and Matamuhur rivers. The hills rise steeply thus looking far more impressive than what their height would imply and extend in long narrow ridges. The highest peaks on the northern side are Thangnang, Langliang and Khantiang while those on the southern side are Ramu, Taung, Keekradang, Tahjindong (4632 ft, highest in Bangladesh), Mowdok Mual, Rang Tlang and Mowdok Tlang. The Hill Tracts is divided into three districts, namely Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban.

• Visit the shipbreaking yards on a day trip from Chittagong, a phenomenal (and dangerous) practice.

• NOT EXISTING IMAGE Patenga. Patenga sea beach is located at Chittagong City. It is really nice. You can ride boat, play football etc. There are many local shops and restaurant at Patenga sea beach. (updated Aug 2016)

	WARNING: Many countries advise to avoid all travel to the Chittagong Hill Tracts region due to politically motivated violence, kidnappings and sporadic ethnic clashes.

You should be very cautious, and maybe think again if going to the Chittagong Hill Tracts Region is entirely necessary. There is a serious risk of politically motivated violence, kidnapping and sporadic ethnic clashes in this region.

Violent clashes occur between indigenous communities that are organized under opposing political groups. The clashes result from their desire to obtain political control over specific geographic areas.

These groups also engage in extortion and drug, money and weapons smuggling.

If you decide to visit the Chittagong Hill Tracts region, you must contact the Chittagong Divisional Commissioner's Office at least 10 days before you arrive.
