Ratargul Swamp Forest, Freshwater swamp forest in Gowainghat, Bangladesh

The forest stretches across 3,325 acres of land with dense vegetation, where water levels fluctuate between 20 to 30 feet during monsoon season.

The Bangladesh government established 504 acres of the forest as an animal sanctuary in 1973, marking its importance for wildlife conservation.

Local residents of Sylhet named the forest after the Rata trees, which form an essential part of their traditional forest resources.

Visitors need to obtain permission from the forest office and hire a local engine boat called traller to navigate through the waterways.

The forest's trees developed a dual root system, with one set anchoring into the ground and another positioned mid-level for flood adaptation.
