Northern part is called Moinamoti and the Southern
part is called Lalmai; and Shalbon Bihar is in the
Middle of Lalmai and Moinamoti, which the was established
in 8th century by King Buddadev. Salban Vihara, almost
in the middle of the Mainarnati-Lalmai hill range
consists of 115 cells, built around a spacious courtyard
with cruciform temple in the centre facing its only
gateway complex to the north resembling that of the
Paharpur Monastery.
Kotila Mura situated on a flattened hillock, about
5 km north of Salban Vihara inside the Comilla Cantonment
is a picturesque Buddhist establishment. Here three
stupas are found side by side representing the Buddhist
"Trinity" or three jewels i.e. the Buddha,
Dharma and Sangha.
Charpatra Mura is an isolated small oblong shrine

City and is just a day's trip by road on way to Chittagong.
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 have four main valleys formed
by the Karnapuli, Feni, Shangu and Matamuhur rivers.
|
| |
|
 |
Rangamati,
a lush and verdant rural area belonging to
the Chakma tribe, is open to visitors, as
is Kaptai Lake. The lake, ringed by thick
tropical and semi-evergreen forests, looks
like nothing else in Bangladesh. While the
lake itself is beautiful, the thatched fishing
villages located on the lakeshore are what
make a visit really special. |
| Pic:
Rangamati Lake |
|
|
Boats
that visit the villages leave from Rangamati. Bring
your swimming gear because you can take a plunge anywhere. |
|
The
Hills |
The
Hill Tract is divided into four valleys surrounded
by the Feni, Karnaphuli, Sangu (Sankhu) and Matamuhuri
rivers and their tributaries. The ranges or hills
of the Hill Tracts 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. |
|
Tribal
life |
The
inhabitants of the Hill Tracts are mostly tribal.
Life of the tribal people is extremely fascinating.
Majority of them are Buddhists and the rest are Hindus,
Christians and Animists. Despite the bondage of religion,
elements of primitiveness are strongly displayed in
their rites, rituals and everyday life. The tribal
families are matriarchal. The women-folk are more
hardworking than the males and they are the main productive
force. |
| |
|
 |
The
tribal people are extremely self-reliant,
they grow their own food, their girls weave
their own clothes and generally speaking,
they live a simple life. Each tribe has its
own dialect, distinctive dress and rites and
rituals. The common feature is their way of
life, which still speaks of their main occupation.
|
| Pic:
Tribal Life |
|
|
Some
of them take pride in hunting with bows and arrows.
Tribal women are very skilful in making beautiful
handicrafts. Tribal people are generally peace loving,
honest and hospitable. They usually greet a tourist
with a smile. |
|
The
Forests |
The
valleys of the Hill Tracts are covered with thick-planted
forests. The vegetation in semi-evergreen to tropical
evergreen dominated by tall teak trees. The natural
vegetation can be seen best in the Rain-khyong valleys
of the Bandarban district. |
| |
|
 |
This
district provides valuable wood which is used
for various purposes, besides supplying wood
and bamboo for the Karnaphuli Paper Mills
and the Rayon Mills situated at Chandraghona.
Here a tourist may be lucky to see how huge
logs of wood are being carried to the plain
by the tamed elephants. |

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. |
