Lalakhal
লালাখাল
A stretch of the Sari River famous for its emerald blue-green water, with boats gliding past tea gardens, sandbars, and forested hills.
Lalakhal is located in Sarighat, about 35 km northeast of Sylhet. The Sari River flows out of the Meghalaya hills, and its water appears clear blue-green due to mineral content, especially noticeable in winter. Visitors rent a motorboat at the Sarighat jetty and travel upriver for about 1-1.5 hours. The riverbanks are lined with tea gardens, jungle, and sandbars, ending near the Lalakhal Tea Garden close to the border. Round-trip boat fares should be agreed upon in advance. It can be arranged on the way to Jaflong.
