2) Bichanakandih
In nature's own pastime, there is a land of infinite beauty, like a stone bed. If you step into the clear water of the fountain coming down from the hills of Meghalaya state, you will feel all the peace of the world here !! In the dry season, the real
form of Bichanakandi is not visible! Its real beauty in the rainy season! Bichanakandi distance from Sylhet station is about 64 km away! The condition of the road is very bad! Yet all the fatigue is gone when you see the boundless pastime of this beauty !!

How to go:
Rent a micro / laguna from Sylhet city and get off at Hadarpar via Gowainghat-Lama Bazar. The distance from Sylhet is about 64 km!
Most of the roads are in very bad condition.
Bichanakandi is about 30-40 minutes by motor boat from the boat dock. Bargain for the boat. Lots of syndicates here. About 2/3 times the price will go down. We rented Laguna for the whole day! I
fixed 4,000 / -! And from Hadarpar boat ghat I went to see Bichanakandi and Panthumai springs in a reserve boat. 1,800 / - for boat rental! However, a wide syndicate of boat docks! You will get 2/3 times the price and so you have to bargain!
But when you reach Bichanakandi after overcoming such a hassle, you will forget everything.
3) Panthumai Jharna:
The Panthumai waterfall is located entirely in India. If it is not in the rainy season, its real form cannot be seen.
Going to Panthumai point, you can only see (take pictures) from Bangladesh, BSF is standing below (with rifle in hand). Take a look at it after going to bed. It takes about 30 minutes by trawler from Bichanakandi.

4) Saliva canal
The best time to visit Lalakhal is in winter. During this time you will get nice blue water. There is no rain current now. So the water is calm, clear. Absolutely the bottom of the river can be seen from
above. Those who have not been to Sylhet cannot even imagine that the water can be so clear! The color of the water is lost during the rainy season. This time you will see all kinds of birds as a bonus.
Lalakhal is located in Jaintapur upazila, 35 km from Sylhet city. Lalakhal is located just below Cherrapunji in India. The river originates from the Cherrapunji hills and flows through Bangladesh. The place is quite suitable for feeling the
solitude of nature. Dense green forests in the hills, rivers, tea gardens and a combination of different species of trees across the saliva. The form of the moon-washed river is to be remembered for a lifetime.

There are four types of hard rock found in Bangladesh, among them Bholaganj-Jaflong hard rock pebbles. In addition, during the monsoon season, when heavy rains fall on the hills of the Shillong
Plateau on the Indian border, the Daoki River carries large boulders from those hills. That is why a lot of rocks are found in the river Jaflong in Sylhet area. And
the livelihood of a large part of the people of this area has been developed around the extraction and processing of this stone.
