Tourist Attractions in Rangamati
Rangamati is one of the most picturesque districts in Bangladesh in the region of hill tracts. Thus this district is amongst the most attractive tourist destinations in Bangladesh. Located in southeastern Bangladesh, Rangamati has a hilly landscape caused by the Kaptai dam and its beautiful lake.
Low-lying mountain ranges surround this Hill District. The mountains are full of narrow valleys and light forests. The sculpted Karnafuli River is flowing across the district. It is surrounded by Tripura and Mizoram of India on the north, Bandarban on the south, Mizoram on the east, and Chittagong and Khagrachari on the west.
The Chittagong Hill Tracts were a matter of dispute between the hill tribes of Tripura and Arakan for a long time. For this reason, the founder king of this region Bira Raja defeated the king of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in 590 AD and established his capital in Rangamati. By the year 1666, the area was under Arakanese occupation. Under Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir in 1666, the governor of Bengal, Shaista Khan, won the region with the chance of confrontation between the Arakanese and Portuguese. It was a sub-district under the Chittagong Hill Tracts until 1984. After 1984, this region was upgraded to a district.
