Satchari National Park (Bengali: সাতছড়ি জাতীয় উদ্যান) is a national park in Habiganj District, Bangladesh. After the 1974 Wild Life Preservation Act, in 2005[2] Satchari National Park was built on 243 hectares (600 acres)[2] of land. Literally 'Satchari' in Bengali means 'Seven Streams'. There are seven streams flowing in this jungle, and the name 'Satchari' came from there.[2]
