Kaptai Lake

The area around Kaptai Lake is covered with thick tropical and semi-evergreen forests and looks quite different from the rest of Bangladesh. Around the beautiful lake are countless tiny fishing villages that can be explored by boat. The best place to catch a boat is the town of Rangamati, on the lake's western shore. Don't forget to bring your swimming gear, because you can swim anywhere in the lake.

Kaptai Lake is the larget man-made lake in Bangladesh. It was formed after the construction of Kaptai Dam across Karnaphuli River in 1962. The lake is 200 km southeast of Dhaka.
