Sajek Valley is a hill‑station in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, 1,800–2,000 ft above sea level, known for cloud‑filled vistas, indigenous villages and a handful of resorts. The site is reachable by a winding mountain road from Khagrachhari; most visitors combine a short trek with an overnight stay to catch sunrise at the helipad.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • Bangladesh ↗Apply for a visa only on the official government e-visa portal or at an embassy; lookalike sites charge extra, and the rules differ by nationality.
  • Bangladesh ↗Dress modestly in cities and near mosques: cover shoulders and knees, and women carry a scarf for mosques and shrines.
  • Bangladesh ↗Carry Bangladeshi taka in small notes; rickshaws, markets and small shops are cash-only, and foreign cards are not accepted everywhere.
  • Bangladesh ↗Political rallies, strikes (hartal) and blockades can close roads and cut mobile internet with little notice: check the news and your hotel before any transfer day and stay away from demonstrations.

  • Landslides may block the Khagrachhari‑Sajek route in monsoon
  • Security convoys may delay travel on Dighinala‑Baghaihat‑Sajek road
  • Limited cash‑less payment – carry enough BDT
