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.
