Tiny island in the midst of Kaptai Lake

Kattali Bil is a newly emerged part in the midst of Kaptai Lake where local fishermen have built slums and a small market. The spectacular view of this tiny island attracts the sightseers who can travel to Rangamati from Langdu or other areas by boat. 

Different types of birds also have found sanctuary in the island. During the winter season, it is wonderful to watch the migratory birds. This place can be a new tourist attraction in Bangladesh, provided the government takes steps to beautify and manage it. Local businessmen can also play a vital role in the process.
