Lawacherra Rain Forest

There are a number of pristine wildlife areas in Bangladesh that have been carefully preserved for the sake of the plants and animals that live here. The Lawacherra Rain Forest is one such place. The forest is home to a fantastic variety of plants, birds and animals and is considered to be of great ecological importance. What a treat to see gibbon apes as they leap and climb from tree to tree. These white-faced, diminutive apes are incredibly fascinating to watch. Birds such as bee-eaters, strikingly colorful parrots and owls can also be spotted in the tree-tops – in fact, this is a bird-watchers paradise. If you cast your gaze downward, you may be fortunate enough to spot wild chicken, squirrels and deer. Some visitors have even spotted leopards and pythons as they bask in the little patches of sun! Botanists will be happy to note that the incredibly rare Chloroform tree can be found here – the only one in Asia. There is also plenty of other vegetation in the area as the hilly terrain is just covered with a variety of plants.
