Discover more about Madhabpur Lake

Madhabpur Lake, a jewel in Kamalganj Upazila of Moulvibazar, is a tranquil escape amidst stunning natural beauty. Created in 1965 as a reservoir for the Madhabpur Tea Estate, the lake has become a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors with its serene atmosphere and picturesque landscapes. The lake's history is intertwined with the region's tea cultivation. To provide a reliable water source for irrigation, the Madhabpur Tea Garden Authority constructed dams between three hills, forming what locals initially called a 'dam'. Over time, this reservoir transformed into a scenic lake, stretching approximately 2.5 to 3 kilometers and covering around 50 acres. The surrounding hills, blanketed in verdant tea gardens, create a mesmerizing panorama. The lake is adorned with vibrant water lilies and lotuses, including rare purple-blue varieties, adding a splash of color to the tranquil waters. The clear reflection of the sky and surrounding hills on the lake's surface creates a mirror-like effect, making it a photographer's paradise. Madhabpur Lake is also a haven for wildlife. The lake and its surroundings are home to diverse bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers. During the winter months, migratory birds flock to the lake. Keep an eye out for herons, kingfishers, and other migratory species that seek refuge in this peaceful environment. Visitors can take a leisurely boat ride on the lake to soak in the stunning surroundings. Explore the surrounding tea gardens and forests through guided trekking or nature walks along the lake's scenic pathways. Pack a picnic and enjoy a relaxing meal by the lakeside, surrounded by the tranquility of nature.
