One And Only Researched Park:
The most researched and regularly visited safe area in Bangladesh is Lawachara National Park. The park is situated in the northeastern region of the country, in the Moulvibazar District, connected to the city of Srimangal. Of the 2,740 ha West Bhanugach Reserved Forest, it makes up about half. Semi-evergreen tropical forest covers about 1,250 ha of Lawachara National Park. The Wildlife Act of 1974 was used by the Bangladeshi government to designate the area as a national park on July 7, 1996.

The Northern Pig-tailed Macaque, Phayre’s Leaves and stems Monkey, Capped Langur, and the largest population of Western Hoolock Gibbon, the one and only ape found in Bangladesh, are among the four primates that can be seen there with relative ease. Lawachara National Park is also known for its abundance of other animals, including the only ape found in Bangladesh.

The forest is a well-liked destination for scientists and nature enthusiasts. It is home to six species of flowerpeckers, Bangladesh’s smallest birds, as well as a variety of forest birds, including the Oriental Pied Hornbill and Kalij Pheasant. In comparison to the rest of Bangladesh, the microclimate of giant forest trees, cool, fresh air, and lush green appear to be on another planet.

Within the forest:
There are two villages of the Khashia ethnic group. There are 40 households living in the largest, “Magurchara Punji,” and 23 households in the second, “Lawachara Punji.” Tea estates, a number of villages, along with a Tipra community with 75 households, and tea plantations surround the NP. Through local accommodation facilities and tour operators, ecotourism is quickly growing in the area.
