Batali Hill

Last updated July 21, 2025

Batali Hill is the highest hill in the city of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It is located near the Tiger Pass crossing, about 1 kilometre from the center of the city, and falls under Khulshi Thana.

About 280 feet high,^[1] the hill faces threats of erosion and landslides due to illegal hill-cutting activities.^[2] In June, 2007, a massive landslide in the area surrounding Batali Hill killed at least 128 people.

There is also an eternal flame (Shikha Onirban) commemorating the Bangladesh Liberation War martyrs ^[3]
