Madhupur National Park, National park in Tangail District, Bangladesh
Madhupur National Park is a forested landscape with rolling ridges and valleys located north of Dhaka. The terrain varies across the site, with dense woodland covering most areas and clearings where water collects naturally.
The forest was established as a reserve in the early 1960s and later designated as a national park in the 1980s. This transition marked a shift toward formal protection of the woodland and its inhabitants under Bangladesh wildlife laws.
The Garo people have lived within this forest for generations and continue to use its resources as part of their daily routines. Their presence shapes how the forest functions as both a natural space and a home for those who depend on it.
Visitors can arrange accommodations through forest management offices, which maintain rest houses and designated facilities throughout the park. Plan visits around the rainy season, as trails and clearings can become muddy and less accessible during heavy precipitation.
The forest contains a notable mix of tree species, with one type dominating large portions of the woodland. This particular distribution shapes how sunlight filters through and how the forest floor remains moist year-round.
