Chimbuk hill, Hill summit at Bandarban District, Bangladesh
Chimbuk Hill is a mountain summit in Bandarban District that rises to around 800 meters above sea level and ranks among the highest points in Bangladesh. The landscape from the top shows layered valleys stretching across a wide area, with forested slopes on all sides.
This mountain formed millions of years ago through the geological processes that created the Chittagong Hill Tracts across Bangladesh. The ridge is part of an ancient mountain system that stretches across several countries in South Asia.
The Marma communities who live in the surrounding area work with the land using methods passed down through generations. Their daily life revolves around the forest resources and farming practices that remain tied to the rhythm of seasons.
To reach the summit, you should hire a vehicle with good ground clearance from Bandarban town, as regular cars cannot handle the steep mountain roads. Morning visits offer the best visibility, while afternoon conditions can be hazy due to cloud formation.
During autumn months, the viewing area called Nobo Chattar becomes surrounded by thick clouds that create the feeling of floating above them. This cloud layer forms regularly during this season and makes for a memorable natural sight.
