Generally we don’t associate stone with beauty. Make a visit to Jaflong and you will find this concept doesn’t work here because Jaflong is made picturesque natural beauty by the abundance of stones.
Jaflong is one of the most gorgeous tourist destinations among all the hill tracts of Bangladesh. It is placed in the Sylhet region; only 60 km from city of Sylhet. Jaflong is blessed with the rare beauty of rolling stones from hills. River Mari is flowing within Jaflong from the Himalayas along the hill Khashia which is the main transporter of the stones. Every shapes and sizes stone can be found in plentiful. That’s why it’s the main sources of stone of Bangladesh.
Jaflong is surrounded by hilly jungles which add to its natural beauty. You can travel here via Sylhet. You can go to Sylhet by road, rail and air. After that you can take public bus or hire a microbus for traveling to Jaflong. But it is advised to rent a microbus for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. It will take 1-2 hours to reach Jaflong from Sylhet.
Except of seeing the stones you can also go for a river cruise. You will find many kinds of boat floating in the river. Choose one and fix the rate with the sailor for the river cruise and experience the amazing natural beauty of the river, green hills, forests and of course the stones in the water. The water of the river is so clean and clear that no one can resist. So when you are there don’t forget to have a swim in the river. As Jaflong is most enjoyable when there is water in the river you should visit there in the rainy season.
On the way to Jaflong there are some other magnificent places one must visit such as Tamabil, Sripur, Jointapur's Rajbari etc. Tamabil is the zero point for Bangladesh and India. It’s only 5 km way from Jaflong and has a similar kind of green hilly natural beauty. Recently a beautiful rest house is built in lap of nature. A night at the rest house can be one of the reasons to go there. You need to book the rest house a week before the arrival to Tamabil. You can book from DC (district commissioner) office in Sylhet.
Sripur has a panoramic natural view and a waterfall.
Most interesting feature of Sripur is from here you can see some
waterfalls of the nearby Indian region. Stones here are very big in size
and some of them have risen from the waterfall which makes the place
more dazzling and desirable destination from many other places of
Bangladesh. Its only 7-8 km from Jaflong and the best thing you can do
is visit Sripur on the way back from Jaflong and Tamabil.From the description its pretty clear that why this region is one of the most visited place of Bangladesh. So any one that hasn’t been there must visit these places and enjoy the unique, splendid & enchanting beauty that nature has stored for you in this region.
