Seasonal warning: Open year-round; trails are easier in the dry season, and monsoon brings insects and slippery paths.

Introduction

A roughly 1,250-ha semi-evergreen national park (declared 7 July 1996) inside the West Bhanugach Reserved Forest, Kamalganj upazila. It holds 460 recorded species, including the western hoolock gibbon — a 2007 census found 62 individuals in 17 groups, the biggest surviving gibbon population in Bangladesh. Only 8 km from Sreemangal town, it combines easily with tea-garden trips; early-morning trails are the most rewarding.

Suggested time: Half a day

How to get there

The park is 8 km from Sreemangal town — hire a CNG/rickshaw or use transport on the Sreemangal-Kamalganj route. Reach Sremangal first from Dhaka or Sylhet, then the park. Confirm forest-department rules and guide arrangements at the gate.

Important notes

  • The park is 8 kilometres from the town of Sreemangal.
