Rangamati is the capital of Chittagong Hill Tract
It is about 70 km from Chittagong city (Bus Stand) but takes 2+ hours to reach Rangamati by bus
This vast lake has been created as a result of creation of the Kaptai Hydro Electric Project in the 1950s
At the start the capacity of Hydro Electric Project was only 50 MW it is learnt. But current capacity has been increased to 220 MW 
Rangamati is mainly Chakma inhabitant area. This is the only city or town in Bangladesh which has no "Rickshaws" plying in the city as the city is hilly.
Due to lake and immense rain forest type  vegetation in the surrounding hills, the air is much cleaner that plain land cities of Bangladesh
