Famous Kaptai Lake, the
largest "man-made" lake, spreading over 680 sq. km. of
crystal-clean water flanked by hills and evergreen
forests lies in the Rangamati Hill District. The lake
was formed when the Karnaphuli river dam (153 feet high,
1800 feet long crest) was built for the purpose of
hydroelectric power project at Kaptai. The old Rangamati
town was submerged under lake water and a new town had
to be built later. |
