Another natural beauty of Sylhet is Tamabil and Jaflong. Jaflong is like an artist’s perfect picture. Jaflong is at the foothills of the Khasia-Jainta Hills, just 62 km north-east of Sylhet city. On the other side of the border area Tamabil lies the Shilling Road of India. If you go there for a visit, you will see the spring water flowing from the high mountains of India across the border to our Bangladesh. These streams have decorated the mountains with great beauty.
But since the springs fall in the part of India, we have to stand on the borders of the country to enjoy these beauties. The distance from Tamabil is only 7 km. If you want to go to Jaflong from Sylhet town, you have to pass by Tamabil. It is more convenient to go to Tamabil first and then to Jaflong.
