Madhupur Forest
মধুপুর বন
Old sal forest on red soil, home to Garo villages and capped langurs.
The Madhupur tract is an area of raised red-soil land once covered in sal forest. Part of it is protected as Madhupur National Park, with trails, a watchtower and a rest area near Rasulpur. Garo (Mandi) communities have lived in and around the forest for generations. Early mornings bring birdsong and, with luck, capped langurs in the canopy.
How to get there
Bus from Dhaka or Tangail to Madhupur, then a CNG to the national park entrance at Rasulpur.
Good to know
Hire a local guide for the trails; respect Garo villages and ask before taking photos.
