Sylhet is considered to be the most
beautiful division of Bangladesh due to its untouched natural beauty. This
northeastern part of Bangladesh is often called as the tea garden of Bangladesh
because the entire division is covered with tea gardens. Though Bangladesh is
underrated as a tourist destination but there are many beautiful locations in Bangladesh to visit
and Sylhet is one of the best among all over Bangladesh. Ratargul Swamp forest,
Jaflong and Hakaluki Haor are some of the most iconic tourist destinations in
around Sylhet along with many waterfalls, lakes and nature reserve centers.
5 Most Beautiful Locations in Sylhet to Visit
Though it will be unwise to list only
5 of those mind-blowing places in the Sylhet division yet to bring up the most
favorites of mine, I am going to discuss about 5 places around the tea city of
Bangladesh.
Ratargul Swamp Forest
Ratargul Swamp forest is the only
fresh water swamp forest in Bangladesh which is around 26 km away from the
Sylhet city center. To be precise this forest is sink into water in the summer
and totally dry during winter and has 26 small sweet water forests in total.
There are countless rentable boats to visit this forest which is very safe for
all the visitors. No doubt that this place is one of the most visited places
among the all the Sylhet tourist’s spots and you can enjoy a beautiful water
body covered with wonderful trees. Visiting into the water woods, is also
adventurous because of deadly snakes and crazy monkeys. But since you are with professional
boat riders you don’t have to worry about anything.
Jaflong
Jaflong is another one of the most
beautiful locations in Sylhet that can give you an amazing feeling of hills and
water merging together and connecting India with Bangladesh. The water is clean
and stony river bed will give you a fresh feeling of taking a bath. According
to statistics, almost 90% of the tourists visit Jaflong during their visit to
Sylhet.
Bichnakandi
Bichanakandi is just 60 km away from
the Sylhet city and you may reach there by various transportation including bus
and CNG and engine boats. What I believe, the most viable option to reach this
place is by boat because this way only you can see the real beauty of the
Ratargul swamp forest and a vast amount of land. On the way to Bichanakandi, you
can enjoy the broad waterway and the cleanest weather of Sylhet.
Lalakhal
Lalakhal is another beautiful location
in Sylhet which is around 60 km away from Sylhet city. This river is located in
Jointapur Upazila and originated from Cheraponji hill. The water body is the cleanest in the country with blue water
and has sandy river bed flowing through beautiful hills. Though a part of this
river near Tamabil Road is called Shari River but it is popular with the name
of Lalakhal.
Srimongol Tea Gardens
Despite
the fact that most of Sylhet is covered with tea gardens but this part is
different from all because of the nice weather and maximum amount of tea
gardens. Most of the time, Srimongol has the lowest temperature in Bangladesh
and rains for a lot like all other places in Sylhet.
In
short all these above mentioned places are special and they stand out from most
of the part of Bangladesh. After Chittagong Hill tracks, Sylhet is the most
beautiful and most visited place in Bangladesh which has a lot of beautiful
tourist locations including Ratargul, Jaflong and Lalakhal. So Sylhet is the
best place to find all the natural beauty in Bangladesh with nicest weather in
the country.
