The
Sylhet valley is formed by a beautiful, winding
pair of rivers named Surma and Kushiara both of
which are fed by innumerable hill streams from
the north and south. The valley has a good number
of haors which are big natural depressions. During
winter these haors are vast streches of green
land, but in the rainy season they turn into turbulent
seas. The haors provide sanctuary to millions
of migratory birds who fly from the north across
the Himalayas every winter.The patron saint of
Sylhet is Hazrat Shah Jalal (RA). Sylhet town
draws thousands of devotees and visitors every
year.
The
tea gardens stretch for miles like a green carpet
spread over the slopes of the hills. There are
excellent rest-house facilities in many of these
tea gardens.
