Nijhum Dwip National Park

Nijhum Dwip National Park spans 163 square kilometers across several islands, featuring mangrove forests, sandy beaches, mudflats, and diverse coastal ecosystems.

The government established the protected area in 2001 under the Wildlife Act of 1974, following a twenty-year afforestation program initiated in 1974.

Local fishermen maintain a traditional practice of using designated areas within the park to dry their daily catch while staying in temporary straw shelters.

Visitors reach the park through a combination of transportation methods, starting from Chattogram to Maijdi, followed by bus rides and boat crossings.

The park houses Bangladesh's largest population of spotted deer, with approximately 5,000 individuals inhabiting the protected mangrove forest areas.
