A pleasant and picturesque drive of 64 km. from Chittagong brings you to a huge expanse of emerald and blue water ringed by tropical forests. It is the famous man-made Kaptai Lake (680 sq. km.). From Kaptai along the Chittagong road, lies the ancient Chit Morang Buddhist temple having beautiful Buddhist statues.
Kaptai lake is a huge lake and it has some tiny islands. A half day trip will be fine to explore the lake and the islands. Each island has different name such as "Peda Ting-Ting", "Tuk-Tuk Echo Village", "Chang-Pang" etc. "Peda Ting-Ting" is a tiny island and here you will find cottages to stay and enjoy moon lit night with fantastic lake surroundings. "Tuk-Tuk" is an echo park with varities of trees and plants. "Shovolong" spring is a beautiful spring from the hill and has an exotic land scape.
Take a motor boat from reserve bazar. First visit shuvolong spring and shuvolong bazar. At the end of shuvolong bazar, there is a mini zoo and has some nice sculptures of liberation of Bangladesh and this is maintained by armies. After this place, have lunch at Chung Pang or Peda Ting Ting. In these places, you will find some wonderful tribal dishes and the best is the bamboo chicken.
