Description

Srimongal, about 75 km south of Sylhet and 150 km northeast of Dhaka, is the tea capital of Bangladesh. This slightly hilly, massive area covered by a green carpet of tea leaves, is one of the most picturesque sights. Occasionally, the presence of lemon orchards, pineapple plantations, and rubber plantations makes this a perfect place for a visit. Also, the tropical forests, wildlife, bird sanctuaries, waterfalls, and lakes are the attractions that keep you busy every day. This is a perfect holiday destination to enjoy nature and tranquility.

The average rainfall in this part is higher than in the rest of Bangladesh, a fact that the British tea planters realized in the 18th century and started to cultivate tea in this part.

The area is temperate and cool, with clean, crisp, fresh air in winter and moderately warm in summer, but has an annual rainfall of 5000mm, the highest in the country.
