Travel Bangladesh: Hill Tracts Bangladesh- BANDARBAN

Bandarban is one of the most beautiful hilly towns of Bangladesh, which lies on the Sangu River, 92km from Chittagong . The river is the centre of local life: bamboo rafts up to 500m long, steered by a single solitary boatman, drift leisurely downstream, while country boats make slow trips to neighboring villages. Most inhabitants belong to the Buddhist, Marma tribe. The town itself, which has a couple of interesting sights, isn’t overly attractive, but the surrounding countryside is some of the finest in Bangladesh. and offers one of the few opportunities to really escape the masses. Instead of the honking of horns and awe-struck stares of the masses you’ll have nothing much to listen to but birdsong and the only things likely to be fluttering about you will be bright, floppy winged butterflies. All up this is not a town to rush through in a hurry.

The mogh girls with their proportionate body, fair complexion and ideal but hard life are quite interesting for visitors. 20 miles from Banderban by the hill road Chimbuk is said to be the highest accessible peak in Bangladesh.
