The unusual vehicles puttering about the hills and valleys of the Chattogram Hill Tracts are known as Chander Gari. The vehicles have wound their way along these roads for a long time and are popular and reliable forms of public transport. The vehicles were originally refurbished from old government SUVs sold off at auction. Many first-time visitors to the hill tracts find them odd.
