Well maintained place with strict rules of no loitering and sitting for prolonged period of time. Which means it’s good because there won’t be much human pollution.
Not much to see actually, just there to appreciate the silence and peace in the midst of the busy city traffic.

.....a place of quite contemplation, a place that reminds of the famous lines of Winston Churchill "Never was so much owed by so many to so few". The enormity of the sacrifice and the diversity of people united by a cause ridicules the divisiveness if today’s global political landscape.

I visit War Grave Cemeteries whenever possible, this one was well maintained and is a credit to the staff who care for it. I placed poppies on the graves of the New Zealand Soldiers graves.

The cemetery is beautifully kept with row after row of gravestones for mostly very young men - British, African, Canadian, Australian, Indian - who died during WWII. It is quite touching to read the inscriptions and the ages of most of the fallen soldiers. I was glad to see that soldiers of all Commonwealth (British Empire at that time nations were buried together although no ages or inscriptions were provided for the non-European soldiers.

I go to this place very often, it's very close by my house. Nice neat and clean place. One of the best park in Chittagong (though it's a park cum grave yard) with green grass and well maintained trees. Best to go with family.
They don't allow professional photography. And please maintain the cleanliness.

I am visiting Chittagong in November to visit the grave of an uncle who is buried there. I would like to know not there are any guided tours for the cemetery and the town in general.
Written February 26, 2018
No.There is no guided tour in the cemetry. But there might be some companies in the city. You can visit on your own. There is a directory there and the names are also placed. Hope you can easily identify your uncle's grave.
