Bhawal National Park

The protected area spans 5,022 hectares of land, featuring a diverse collection of 220 plant species and multiple wildlife species north of Dhaka.

The forest territory transformed into a national park in 1974, previously belonging to the Madhupur forest under the administration of Bhawal Estate.

The park contains designated areas named Anando, Kanchan, Sonalu, Abakash, Aboshor, and Binodon, reflecting Bangladesh's connection to nature through traditional names.

Visitors need to secure advance bookings through the Mohakhali forest department office to access the picnic facilities and 13 available cottages.

The park maintains a coppice sal forest ecosystem with 151 tree species, 53 shrubs, 106 herbs, and 34 climber species in its protected landscape.
