Bandarban Hill District, ninety-two kilometer from Chittagong by metalled road, Bandarban is the district headquarters of the Bandarban Hill District.
This is the hometown of the Bohmong Chief, who is the head of the Mogh tribe (The Moghs King). The Moghs are of Myanmar origin and Buddhists by religion. Jovial and carefree by nature, the Moghs are simple and hospitable people.
Bandarban is also the home of the Murangs who are famous for their music and dance. Far into the interior there are several other tribes of great interest for anyone who cares to make the journey.
