Located in the north-eastern part of South Asia, Bangladesh lies between 20°34' and 26°36' north latitude and 88°0 I' and 92 °41' east longitudes. The mighty Himalayas is to the north, while the southern frontier is guarded by the Bay of Bengal. To the west lies the expansive Gangetic plains (West Bengal) of India and on the eastern frontier lies the forest of Myanmar and India (Tripura & Assam Hills). These picturesque geographical boundaries delineate a low lying plain of about 1,47,570 sq. km. criss-crossed by innumerable brooks, rivulets and streams and rivers like the Padma (Ganges), the Brahmaputra Oamuna), the Meghna, the Karnaphuli.

Much of the country's land area has been built up from alluvial deposits brought down by the major rivers. The country is mostly flat except for a range of hills in the south-east. It is characterized by wooded marshy lands and jungles with deep forest regions in Sylhet, Rangamati, Khagrachhari and Bandarban Hill Districts,
