Sylhet Division

The tea country of northeastern Bangladesh, where tea gardens, wetlands and rainforest make up the country's most beautiful natural scenery.

Sylhet Division lies in northeastern Bangladesh, bordering the Indian states of Meghalaya and Assam. Its rolling hills make it the country's main tea-growing region. Sreemangal is known as the "tea capital," and nearby Lawachara National Park is a place to see gibbons; the freshwater swamp forest of Ratargul can be explored by boat in the rainy season, and the Jaflong valley and the Tanguar Haor wetlands are beautiful. The regional capital, the city of Sylhet, has the shrines of Sufi saints. November to March has pleasant weather, while the wetlands look their best in the rainy season. You can reach it via Osmani International Airport in Sylhet or by train.
