Sylhet- a paradise for tourists

The Sylhet valley is formed by a beautiful pair of rivers named Surma and Kushiara, both of which are fed by innumerable hill streams from the north and the south. Sylhet is a land of gardens, forests and shrines. The forests here abound with birds of different species. The orange groves of Chhatak with humming bees add to the beauty of the region. Sylhet has a good number of haors. During winter these haors become vast stretches of green land, but in the rainy season turn into turbulent seas. These haors are sanctuaries for the millions of migratory birds. The tea gardens spread over the slopes of the hills miles after miles like a green carpet are a feast to the eyes of the travellers. In Sylhet a tourist can spend a week to have a glimpse of the whole tourism circuit.
