The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh
comprises a total area of 5,093 sq. miles (13,189 sq. km.) encompassing three
hill districts: Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban. It shares borders with
Myanmar on the south and southeast, India on the north and northeast, and the
Chittagong district of Bangladesh on the west. It is different in geographical
features, agricultural practices, and soil conditions from the rest of the country
due to its mountainous landscape. CHT is located between 21°-40′ degrees and
23°-47′ degrees north latitude and 91°-40′ degrees and 92°-42′ degrees east
longitude. It is a unique territory with marked socio-economic and cultural
differences from the rest of Bangladesh.
