Chandradinga is a hill in Kalmakanda upazila, part of the Garo Hills that spill over from Meghalaya. Its outline looks like an upturned boat, and locals link it to the Manasamangal story in which the goddess Manasa sank the seven boats of the merchant Chand Sadagar; a group of rocks here are said to be those boats. From the top there are wide views over the border hills and the plains. A small waterfall at nearby Panchgaon village is part of the same outing.
