Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition
Pakistan
Step into Sylhet, Bangladesh's verdant gem, where rolling tea gardens meet soul-soothing spirituality. With our curated journeys, wander amidst lush plantations, where the aroma of fresh tea leaves fills the air, and misty hills paint a picturesque backdrop. Dive deeper into Sylhet's heart, visiting serene Sufi shrines that have drawn seekers for centuries. The tranquil waters of Ratargul and Lalakhal offer reflections of nature's pristine beauty. Beyond its landscapes, Sylhet pulses with vibrant bazaars and rich traditions, weaving a tapestry of cultural encounters. Join us in Sylhet, where nature's serenity and spiritual heritage come together in a harmonious symphony.
Sylhet is synonymous with rolling tea estates. Stroll through manicured plantations like the Malnicherra Tea Estate, the oldest in the region. Watch as tea pluckers, with expert precision, select the finest leaves. Engage with estate workers, understanding the nuances of tea production, and conclude with a refreshing cup, savouring the very essence of Sylhet.
Navigate Bangladesh's only freshwater swamp forest, Ratargul. Board a traditional wooden boat and glide through this flooded forest, observing the diverse flora and fauna. From the chorus of birdcalls to the occasional sight of a water monitor lizard, Ratargul offers an untouched, serene slice of nature amidst Sylhet's landscapes.
Be mesmerized by the surreal blue waters of the Lalakhal River, a result of tea garden and rubber garden silt. The river, against the backdrop of tea gardens and hills, offers an idyllic setting. Opt for a boat ride, feeling the cool breeze and marvelling at the cerulean hues, which change intensity with the sky's reflection.
Often termed the "Tea Capital," Srimangal is a must-visit in Sylhet. Beyond tea gardens, delve into Lawachara National Park, home to the endangered hoolock gibbons. Listen to their unique calls, echoing through the forest. Later, indulge in the local "seven-layer tea," a delightful, layered infusion, each with distinct flavours.
Visit the iconic mosque within the Shah Jalal University campus. An architectural marvel, the mosque boasts a unique blend of traditional and contemporary design elements. Its serene ambience, coupled with the spiritual energy, makes it a peaceful retreat. Engage with local scholars or students, understanding the mosque's significance in Sylhet's academic and spiritual landscape.
Nestled on the border with India, this scenic valley is renowned for its tea gardens, hills, and the Dawki River with transparent blue waters. Witness local life at the Dawki Bazaar and observe the traditional methods of stone collection along the river. The serene environment, punctuated by the occasional chirping of birds and the rustle of leaves, captures Sylhet's natural allure.
