Pablakhali Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wildlife sanctuary in Chittagong Hill District, Bangladesh

Pablakhali Wildlife Sanctuary covers 42,087 hectares of tropical evergreen and semi-evergreen forest at the northern end of the Kaptai reservoir in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The Kassalong River forms its western boundary, and steep rugged hills bound it to the south. Valleys hold clay soil, while the hills carry pale brown to yellow-red acidic loam.

Two forest villages of 112 inhabitants were established inside the area in 1950. The Kaptai dam, built for the Karnaphuli hydroelectric project, later submerged a large portion of the sanctuary. A large Rohingya population has settled within the sanctuary in recent years.

The sanctuary holds two forest villages established in 1950 with 112 inhabitants, and more recently a large Rohingya population has settled inside its boundaries. Part of the protected land has been allotted to settlers from the plains, and local people cut trees and remove forest produce, pressures the sanctuary managers list as major threats.

The best time to visit is between November and May when weather is favorable. To reach the area, visitors travel through Rangamati town using road or water transportation.

The sanctuary's forests once supported tigers, two rhinoceros species, wild water buffalo and gaur; these animals have since disappeared from the area. The Indian elephant now survives mainly in the southern savannas, where perennial water bodies sustain the herds.
