Reviewed By shafiqzaman - Dhaka City, Bangladesh
Located about 60 km north of Sylhet city this place is famous for the border crossing into India located at Tamabil and the stone bed river that flows between the two countries at Jaflong Zero Point We stood just on the border, with Indian border guard a few feet away Many Indian tourists come here to take pictures and stand on their side of the border Next we go to Jaflong Zero Point which has majestic hills in the background in India One can also see the hanging bridge with traffic going and coming from India between the hills Here you are actually standing on Indian soil as there is no clear cut demarcation or boundary fence separating the two countries. The road to Jaflong from Sylhet is bad for about 10 to 20 kms but it is being prepared for carpetting so hope that finishing will be done before the next monsoon season Best time to visit is in winter highly recomended
