Arapara Hill of White Clay

The conflicts in this area are about mining of white clay which is destroying rivers, hills and paddy fields and costing lives. Durgapur, a hilly upazilla (administrative unit below districts) of Netrokona district in the Northern part of Bangladesh has been an attractive tourist place due to its diversified natural beauty, greenery, hills and hillocks, forests, rivers, water bodies and also the enriched natural resources. The hills and hillocks of the said area looks like an exclusive scenic combination of white and pink colours as the hills have a huge storage of white clay, also known as china clay. The Shumeshwory river that flows through the Durgpaur upazilla within the hills and hillocks has enhanced the epic beauty of the hills and hillside forests of Durgapur which also inherits a rich collection of silicon sands, white clay, and china clay. The hills and hillocks of the said Area has been a liveable place for the indigenous Hajong, Garo and other tribes whose lives and livelihoods are intimately related to the white clay rich hills and hillocks and the Shumeshwory River.

Excellent place to meet with nature, i want to come back here again and again.

Nice and mind blowing place in Bangladesh. Visitors are available all-time. Every one will be able to refresh his or her mind experiencing this place. White colour of the hills is really enjoyable.
