Next
to the Hill Tracts, greater Sylhet is the widely hilly
district in the country. Nestled in the picturesque
Surma Valley ambits scenic tea plantations and lush
green tropical forests, it is a prime  attraction
for all tourists. Its terraced tea gardens, eye-soothing
orange groves and pineapple plantations and hills covered
with tropical, forest form a beautiful landscape. The
Sylhet valley has a good number of haors, which are
big natural wetlands. During winter these haors are
vast stretches of green land, but in the rainy season
they turn into a turbulent sea.
Tamabil-Jaflong:
Situated amidst splendid panorama, Tamabil is a border
outpost on Sylhet-Shilong road, about 55 km. away from
Sylhet town. Besides enchanting views of the area one
can also have a glimpse of the waterfall across the
border from Tamabil. Jaflong is also a scenic spot nearby
amidst tea gardens and rare beauty of rolling stones
from hills.
Other
places of tourist attraction in Sylhet include Moulavibazar,
Jaintiapur, Madhabkunda and Haripur gas field.
