SYLHET CITY
Nestled in the picturesque Surma Valley amidst scenic tea
plantations and lush green tropical forests, greater Sylhet
is a prime attraction for all tourists visiting Bangladesh.
Laying between the Khasia and the Jaintia hills on the north,
and the Tripura hills on the south, Sylhet breaks the monotony
of the flatness of this land by a multitude of terraced
tea gardens, rolling countryside and the exotic flora and
fauna. Here the thick tropical forests abound with many
species of wildlife, spread their aroma around the typical
hearth and homes of the Mainpuri Tribal maidens famous for
their dance.
The Sylhet valley is formed by a beautiful, winding pair
of rivers named the Surma and the Kushiara both of which
are fed by innumerable hill streams from the north and the
south. The valley has good number of haors, which are big
natural depressions. During winter these haors are vast
stretches of green land, but in the rainy season they turn
into turbulent seas.
These haors provide a sanctuary to the millions of migratory
birds who fly from Siberia across the Himalayas to avoid
the severe cold there. Sylhet has also a very interesting
and rich hilstory, Before the conquest by the Muslims, it
was ruled by local chieftains. In 1303, the great Saint
Hazrat Shah Jalal came to Sylhet from Delhi with a band
of 360 disciples to preach Islam and defeated the then Raja
Gour Gobinda.
Sylhet thus became a district of saints, shrines and daring
but virile people. Its rich potentialities became easily
attractive and the 18th century Englishmen made their fortune
in tea plantation. About 80 km. from Sylhet town connected
by road and rail, Srimangal, which is known as the tea capital
of Bangladesh, is the actual tea center of the area. |
