Chittagong Walking Tour
Chittagong, Bangladesh
Why Walk Chittagong
Chittagong is Bangladesh's second-largest city and its main seaport, sitting on the Karnaphuli River near the Bay of Bengal. The city has been a trading port for centuries, mentioned by Arab and Chinese merchants in their journals. The hilly terrain gives it a different character from flat Dhaka, with viewpoints from hilltop shrines and the Ethnological Museum documenting the indigenous peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
