Khagrachhari embraces Eid spirit with a surge in tourism

Nestled in the folds of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Khagrachhari transforms into a vibrant haven for holidaymakers each Eid-ul-Azha.

As the festival brings with it the promise of rest and togetherness, the district's scenic beauty and serene landscapes offer the perfect setting for families and friends seeking a brief escape from the bustle of daily life.

During the Eid holidays, Khagrachhari's charm seems more pronounced--its green hills lusher, waterfalls more inviting and the air touched with the vibration of festive excitement.

Visitors, both local and from afar, roam through forest trails, pose for photos beside misty cascades and explore curving cave paths in search of thrill and mystery.

The appeal of Alutila, with its enigmatic cave and panoramic views, has only grown stronger in recent years.

Renovations and new attractions have added to its allure, making it a focal point for those wanting both adventure and Instagram-worthy vistas.

Meanwhile, other locations like Risang Waterfall, Mayabini Lake and Devta Pukur offer tranquil retreats that seem untouched by time.

Away from nature’s embrace, local markets buzz with the business of the season. Stalls brim with handmade crafts, woven garments and tribal jewellery, drawing tourists not just to the region’s sights, but also to its culture.

The festive rush spills over into hotels and resorts, where the clinking of tea cups and the scent of freshly cooked meals set the rhythm of leisure.

Khagrachhari, with its calm yet celebratory spirit, becomes more than just a destination during Eid, it turns into a meeting point of tradition and tourism, culture and nature.

As visitors leave with bags full of souvenirs and hearts filled with memories, the district quietly readies itself for the next wave of wanderers, ever welcoming, ever unchanged in its beauty.
