Madhupur Tract (Bangladesh)

Weather…

The Madhupur Tract is a large upland area in central Bangladesh, spanning parts of the Tangail, Mymensingh, and Gazipur districts. Geologically, this region stands out from the surrounding alluvial plains due to its characteristic red laterite soil. The area lies about 10 to 20 meters above sea level and represents a Pleistocene terrace formed by tectonic uplifts. The Madhupur Tract is home to one of the country's last remaining sal forests (Shorea robusta), known for their high ecological significance and biodiversity. Historically, the forested area served as a refuge for various communities during political upheavals. In modern agriculture, the tract is known for the large-scale cultivation of pineapples, bananas, and jackfruits, which thrive on the acidic soils. The region faces major ecological challenges from deforestation and land-use changes, which is why the Madhupur National Park was established to protect the remaining natural forests.
