Sitakunda Botanical Garden and Eco Park

Sitakunda Botanical Garden and Eco Park, Botanical garden at Chandranath Hills, Bangladesh.

Sitakunda Botanical Garden and Eco Park covers 808 hectares at the foot of the Chandranath Hills, split into a 1,000-acre botanical garden and a 996-acre eco-park. It holds about 150 flower varieties, including 35 kinds of rose and a rare black rose, plus artificial lakes fed by the Suptadhara and Sahasradhara waterfalls. A monument to poet Kazi Nazrul Islam stands just past the main gate.

The park was established in the early 2000s as Bangladesh's first dedicated eco-park and conservation space. The project emerged from efforts to protect the region's native plant species and make them available for public education and research.

At the main gate stands a memorial to the national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, who visited this hill area; a signboard beside the column gives the account. Devotees worship at the Chandranath temple, reached by a 5 km route from the ticket counter, and during the Falgun Shiva Sankranti festival Vaishnavs from home and abroad fill Chandranath with kirtan singing.

The park lies along the Dhaka–Chittagong Highway at the foot of the Chandranath Hills. From the ticket counter, the Chandranath Temple is 5 km away, reached on foot or by rented vehicle. Free toilets stand at three locations, and a nursery sells Bangladeshi and foreign plants.

The park's main draw is the Sohosdhara waterfall, reached by a signposted trail about 1.5 km from the map board; its sign reads "Sohosdhara, I sleep and wake with the rains." A further kilometre of hill trail leads to the Sahasradhara waterfall, passing picnic spots, a watchtower and the Him Chattar, from where the distant sea is visible.
