Bhawal National Park was established and maintained as a National Park in 1974. By origin, it was the forest of Madhupur. It is located in Gazipur, Dhaka Division of Bangladesh, approximately 40 km north of Dhaka city, only 20 km drive from Gazipur and 20 km from Kapasia. The core area of the park covers 940 hectares (2,322 acres) but extends to 5,022 ha (12,409 acres) of surrounding forest. Its purpose is to protect important habitats as well as to provide opportunities for recreation. It has been kept under IUCN Management Category V, as a protected landscape. The most common flora is the unique coppice sal forest. The area was noted for peacocks, tiger, leopard, black panther, elephant, clouded leopard and sambar deer. However much of the wildlife had disappeared and only a few species remain. Also, most of the forest has been denuded and is now occupied by forestry companies or displaced people. Most of this area was covered by forests fifty years ago and the dominant species was Sal. Illegal deforestation has left only 600 km2 of the original forest; new trees and woodlands have been planted.

Beautiful place. Natural beauty. Love the place. This can be a good tourist place for foreigners and also Bangladeshis if we can do some repairs and updates.

As if we were running along a vast jungle. Water of the natural lake was so attractive. Boat riding was full of fun. Fishing looked enjoyable.
