Kaptai

The Kaptai Lake: The Kaptai lake is a wonderful spot for boating and cruising. Parjatan and private operators offer a number of cruises by mechanical boats. One can go to various scenic spots in Shuvalong, Barkal, Longadu, Marishya and Mainimukh and other areas by boat from Rangamati.
A pleasant and picturesque drive of 64 km. from Chittagong bring you to huge expanse of emerald and blue water ringed with tropical forest. It is the famous man-made Kaptai lake (680 sq.km.) formed by damming the Karnaphuli river. Only 3 km. from Kaptai along Chittagong road, lies the ancient Chit Morong Buddhist temple having beautiful Buddhist statues.
