Hill Tracts

The Hill Tracts are hilly, forested regions located in the southeastern part of Bangladesh, comprising the districts of Khagrachari, Bandarban, and Rangamati. These areas are home to diverse indigenous communities with distinct languages, cultures, and traditions. The terrain is rugged and less accessible, leading to unique social and economic challenges. Historically, the Hill Tracts have experienced tensions related to land rights, cultural recognition, and autonomy. Today, they are recognized for their natural beauty and rich cultural diversity, requiring careful management to ensure sustainable development and harmonious coexistence among different communities.
