Khagrachari District, Administrative district in Chattogram Division, Bangladesh

Khagrachari District spans 2505 square kilometers of hills and valleys, bordered by Tripura state of India and containing several mountain ranges including Golamoon and Lutiban.

The British established control over the Chittagong Hill Tracts in 1760, maintaining a system where local chiefs managed internal governance until formal administration began in 1860.

The district population includes Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus, with indigenous communities such as Chakma, Marma, and Tripura maintaining their languages and traditions.

The region operates under the Khagrachari Hill District Council, which oversees development projects and requires specific permits for visitors entering the administrative area.

The district name originates from the Chengi River banks where Catkin plants grew abundantly, combining local terms 'Khagra' for the plant and 'Chhara' for stream.
