How to get there

From Sylhet city by bus or reserved car toward Gowainghat, then a boat from the ghat.

Where to stay

Sylhet city or a tea-garden stay near Sreemangal, not at the forest itself.

What to eat

Eat in Sylhet before you leave. The ghat has snacks, not a proper meal.

Before you go

  • In the dry months the boat sits on mud and the forest looks ordinary.
