Kaptai National Park, National park in Rangamati Hill District, Bangladesh.

The protected area covers 5,464 hectares of mixed evergreen forest with diverse flora, including teak plantations and numerous native tree species.

The park, established in 1999, originated from Sitapahar Reserve and contains monumental teak plantations dating back to 1873, marking early forest management.

Local indigenous communities near the park maintain traditional practices while participating in forest resource management through sustainable practices.

The national park lies 57 kilometers from Chittagong city, with visitor facilities and guided tours available through local service providers.

A camera trap project in 2014 captured Bangladesh's first live photograph of a wild clouded leopard within the park boundaries.
