Titled Keokradong-er Pothey Pothey, the exhibition is a compilation of images by eight young photographers (members of Dipro, a group of trekkers) -- Ismat Jahan, Sakhawat Hossain Hawladar, Atiqur Rahman, Moniruzzaman Samir, Kazi Zahid, Md Sadek Hossain, Md Ashiq Alam and Md Tawhiduzzaman Jitu.

Keokradong at 1230 metres, located in Bandarban district (south-east part of Bangladesh) is believed to be the highest point in the country. The group of photographers started trekking from Lairunpi. Except for their team leader Mir Shamsul Alam Babu, this was the photographers' first trip to Keokradong and that first-time fascination is apparent in the images.

As the lens became their third eye, the hike to Keokradong presented several opportunities, aptly utilised by the photographers for some exciting snapshots.

Moniruzzaman Samir's photographs of the scenic Sangu river and its surroundings display a quintessential lyrical trait. Piles of bamboo floating (being preserved) on the river and an attached sampan might as well be subjects of an oil painting. The fossil of a tree on the river is also interesting.

A photograph of huts on the steps of a hill at Lairunpi Bawmpara by Atiqur Rahman captures the Adivasi way of life that believes in maintaining a harmony with nature and not defiling it.

The image of a working Marma elderly by Kazi Zahid is a notable portrait; a pair of outlandish, outdated specs and an ethnic smoking pipe made of bamboo add curiosity and character.

Sakhawat Hossain Hawladar's photographs reveal nature at its best. Sunset on Boga lake and tall trees stripped of foliage with a backdrop of crisp blue sky are easy on the eye. Another attention-grabbing shot features an ant's-eye-view of a tree reaching for endlessness, fittingly titled Brikkho Chhuenchhey Akash.

Ismat Jahan has tried to convey a trekker's keenness in her photograph -- a remote creek surrounded by lush greenery and an observer in a distance enjoying the abundance of nature.

Bangladesh, despite being a small country, is blessed with natural diversity. Images like these would do well to project the unadulterated natural beauty of the hill tracts and encourage tourism in the process.

The exhibition ends today.
