Sajek Valley, Mountain valley and tourist destination in Rangamati District, Bangladesh
Sajek Valley is a mountain valley in Bangladesh surrounded by rolling hills, thick forests, and rivers flowing through the Kasalong mountain range. The landscape reveals scattered villages, terraced fields, and viewing points where visitors can see across valleys and mountain slopes.
The valley remained isolated from outsiders until roads began developing in the 1960s. A major military road construction spanning the 2000s and 2010s opened the region and transformed it into an accessible tourist destination.
Chakma, Marma, and Tripuri communities inhabit the villages and shape daily rhythms through their traditions and crafts. Markets run by women and family farms create a living culture where visitors encounter people working the land and selling handmade goods.
Travelers reach the valley by four-wheel drive vehicle from Khagrachari, with the journey taking several hours along winding mountain roads. Plan time for the slow, bumpy drive and prepare for unpaved sections where village stops offer glimpses of local routines.
Konglak Para, the highest viewing point, sits just a few kilometers from the border with India's Mizoram state and offers views into the neighboring country. On clear days, visitors standing at this summit can see mountains beyond the border and feel the atmosphere of this international frontier location.
