Sylhet Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

🛶When The Forest Gets Flooded Water 🛶

#localescapes 🚣🏿‍♂️Ratargul Swamp Forest, located in Bangladesh, is a hidden gem of natural beauty. This freshwater swamp forest is situated in the Gowainghat upazila (sub-district) of Sylhet and is known for its serene and pristine environment. What sets Ratargul apart is that it remains submerged underwater for a significant portion of the year, making it a true seasonal swamp forest. 🌳Visitors to Ratargul can explore the lush greenery, with towering trees, vibrant foliage, and crystal-clear water bodies. The forest is home to a variety of plant and animal species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. The serene surroundings, tranquil lakes, and picturesque walking trails make Ratargul Swamp Forest a perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful escape into the heart of nature. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the natural wonders of Bangladesh. Tips and Tricks ⁉️ 💼Bargain - there are no public transportation to Ratargul Swamp Forest. The best way to get there is by using auto-rickshaw. 🛺You can ask your hotel to arrange a ride for you for a local price or use the price as a reference and try to bargain with other drivers to get something cheaper. Bargaining is part of culture in Bangladesh so don't feel discouraged to name what you think something is worth. There are two starting points for Ratargul Swamp Forest: 🚪1) Motor Ghat - upon arriving you'll have to pay for a boat that'll go up the river to swamp area where you'll have to transfer to a kayak. Upon arriving to swamp area you'll be charged "Swamp Forest" sustainability fee. Don't be surprised to see that prices for tourists are higher than locals and that it's not allowed for foreign visitors to share boat with locals to reduce the price. 🚪2) Chourongi Ghat - this Ghat connects directly to Swamp Forest so you won't need to swithch boats. Straight into kayak. 🚣🏿‍♂️Guides are extremely friendly and if you're lucky you might find the one that we had. P.S. Last two pictures show official price of the boat, guide for locals and park entrance fee. Use translation apps to see the pricing. Enjoy💜💙💛 #SpinTheWorld #trip #backpacking #instatravel

Drone Footage over Madhabpur Lake.

Madhabpur Lake must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit in Sreemangal. This place is not located in down town, however It can be reached easily by taxi or public transport. This is a drone Video I made to catch the excellent views of the entire place. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. 
 Expect beautiful tropical scenery, interesting riverine culture and friendly local people. The lake looks nice from the top of the hill .so climb the hill for birds eye view. After reaching the top of the hill try their local lemon juice The place and the location are very scenic for those who love photography. #createwithtrip #bangladesh #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

#campingglamping just a beautiful day to be in the sun. Enjoy the rest your evening with the family. The weather was beautiful and I had to get out. The weather has changed so I don’t know if I can do anything else but Madhabpur. The only time I’ve ever had a rain storm was on the way to my house. The only reason I’m going back in the winter was for my car because it had a leak on.

Nice view

Baikka Beel Wetland Sanctuary

Baikka Beel Wetland Sanctuary might be an ideal place to visit if you are interested in exploring the surrounding nature in Sreemangal - Bangladesh. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. It is more comfortable to do this plan and walk around in the morning or late afternoon as the weather is quite hot. The wetlands are extensive and they are vital for the local ecosystem as a wide variety of birds live and reproduce in this area. Some walking is involved to explore this site, however there is no need to be fit as the land is flat. #createwithtrip #bangladesh #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip
