Himchari National Park

The 1,729-hectare park combines evergreen forests with hills adjacent to the Bay of Bengal, featuring diverse ecosystems and natural waterfalls.

The Bangladeshi government established Himchari National Park in 1980 as a protected conservation area for research, education, and recreational purposes.

Four thousand residents, primarily engaged in fishing and cultivation, maintain traditional lifestyles within the boundaries of the national park.

Visitors can reach the park through Cox's Bazar using private vehicles, CNGs, or jeeps, with regular connections from Chittagong by road and air.

The park houses 286 bird species, 117 tree varieties, and numerous endangered animals including Asian elephants, leopard cats, and fishing cats.
