The eco park covers forested hills on the Chandranath range in Sitakunda. A paved road winds up past a botanical garden to viewpoints looking over the Bay of Bengal and the Sandwip channel on clear days. Trails lead down to waterfalls such as Suptadhara and Sahasradhara, which are at their best in the rainy season. It is an easy nature trip from Chattogram and pairs well with Chandranath Hill.
