LALAKHAL




This astonishing place 'Lalakhal' is located at Jaintiapur in Sylhet. The name of the river is 'Sari' which is famous for its high-quality sand for construction. This place has been inapproachable for a long time because of unavailability of vehicles. Still, if boats are unavailable, after reaching 'Sarighat' by bus (around 30 KM from Sylhet Metropolitan city), you have to make that 8 KM road by walking!. After reaching that place you must be flabbergasted by watching the greenish-blue water, hilly tracks,tea-gardens & the greenery.
Besides, there are some mysterious holes in the river which look more 'Martian' than earthly!
