Dibir Haor
ডিবির হাওর
A wetland lake in Jaintiapur where, in autumn and winter mornings, the lake is covered in red water lilies reflecting the Meghalaya mountains, best viewed by small boat.
Dibir Haor is a seasonal wetland lake located in Jaintiapur Upazila, at the foot of the Indian border. From about October to December each year, the lake surface is covered with red water lilies, known locally as Lal Shapla, set against a backdrop of the green Meghalaya hills. The water lilies bloom in the early morning and close around midday, so it is best to arrive between 6 and 9 a.m. and board a local wooden boat into the flowers. It can be combined with a visit to Jaflong on the same day. A hired car from Sylhet takes about 1.5 hours.
