Jaflong
Jaflong is the most attractive natural tourist
spot in the Division of Sylhet, Bangladesh. It is located in Gowainghat Upazila
of Sylhet District and situated at the border between Bangladesh and the Indian
state of Meghalaya. Jaflong is famous for its beauty, boulders, betel nuts and
is home of the Khasi tribe. It is about 60 km to the northeast of Sylhet town
and takes two hours to drive to reach there.

The Piyan river slices through Jaflong and the
river is woven tightly into the lives of the local people. You have to hire a
boat to reach the main attractive points. But the boatmen are used to fleecing
tourists, and will charge exorbitant sums, a bit of haggling will get you a
boat for tk 700. But if you avoid the main river bank you can hire a boat only
for tk200. For that you have to go ahead more followed by main road. All of the
boatmen made a Syndicate. So they demand so much high rate to hire a boat.
Waterfall
An awesome waterfall of
sylhet division, Bangladesh. This is after old songrampunji village. Situated
on Bangladesh-India border. To reach
this wonderful waterfall you have to hire a boat to cross the river. You should
keep in your mind never hire a boat from Jaflong to visit waterfall. You can
pass the river by the local villager and reach the songrampunji village for tk
10 only. Then you can go to the end of the village by foot or by auto Rikswa
for tk 10. Then again pass the river to reach the charming place you will get a
lot of local boat per head only for tk 10. That means only for 30 tk you can
visit this place. If you hire boat from the Jaflong you have to pay minimum tk
1000.
How to go
Sylhet city is
roughly 230 km from the capital and it is a smooth 4-5 hour drive. First-rate
highway restaurants along the way mean you can stop for a breather as often as
you like. Train journeys take slightly longer, but can be fun as the line
passes through the Lawachara national forest range Sylhet International Airport is half an hour's flying time
from Dhaka, and most
of the private airlines as well
as Biman offer several daily flights. Transports are available form Syhlet town
to Jaflong. Don’t forget to take food.
