About
Quick facts: With more than 40 lakes scattered across its 700-acre campus, it is one of the largest green lungs in Bangladesh. It is home to over 200 species of migratory birds that arrive each winter from Siberia and the Himalayas.
Highlights: Every dawn, students walk among the lakes while grey herons fish just a few meters away, creating an image that seems straight out of a dream. The most incredible thing happens at sunset: the sky turns intense colors reflecting off the 40 mirrors of water, a spectacle that not even the best photographer can fully capture.
