It takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes to travel to Jaflong, which is only 62 km from Sylhet city. Sylhet Kadmatoli Bus Terminal departs periodically for Jaflong.

Jaflong is one of the beautiful places in Sylhet. Many travel loving people are coming to Sylhet but it would be difficult to find people who are not coming to Jaflong. Coming to Jaflong from a distance, your eyes will first see the high mountains of Meghalaya state in India and the strong current of the Piyain River in Bangladesh. The suspension bridge between India and Bangladesh is connected by special forces patrolling the border. Small Jaflong Bazaar has accommodation, shopping and dining facilities. The main attraction of Jaflong is the small rocks and piles of rocks as far as the eye can see where thousands of people flock to visit every day.

Ideal time to visit Jaflong:

I think Hotel 'Rose View' at Shahjalal Upasahar Point and 'Star Pacific' at Darga Gate are very picturesque for hotel stays before going to Jaflong. Besides, there are many small and big hotels-motels in many budgets. After that finish eating at 'Panch Bhai' or 'Pansi' restaurant in Zindabazar and go early in the morning. Because the more morning you go, the more sunlight you will get and I hope your trip will be more pleasant.

October to March is a good time to visit Jaflong. This season is a good season to travel at the end of summer throughout winter and spring. Because during this time the temperature is at a bearable level. And off-season it would be wise not to visit Jaflong during monsoons and summers. Because at that moment, due to bad weather, dangerous currents, slippery rocks and landslides occur in the river water.

Dos and Don'ts in Jaflong:

After sightseeing in Jaflong you have to return from the main attraction spot before evening as it is a border area, for the sake of security special forces of the two countries on the border impose strict rules on the movement of people in the border area. Never cross the boundary pillar and pay close attention. Disposing of garbage in designated places will save the balance of environment and biodiversity.

If you want, you can hire a camera man from the spot to take pictures. 4-5 taka per good click will be negotiated.

You will see small and big variety of jewelry, toys and food shops while diving on the banks of the Piyain River or the main one. Especially there are Indian products, stone souvenirs, shell ornaments, carved stone designs etc. at very low prices. Jaflong Bazar has a number of boarding and dining restaurants for fairly good quality accommodation.
While swimming in the river, care should be taken to avoid the slippery rocks and strong currents of the river so as not to fall victim to any untoward incident. Alternatively, you can hire a boat and tour Jaflong under the Dawki Bridge overlooking the rushing water.

How much will the trip to Jaflong cost?

First of all, I said at the beginning, if you come by bus, the fare will be Tk 100-150 per person. Renting a microbus will cost 2000-3000 taka. If you stay in a hotel in Sylhet city, the cost per night will be taka 400-8000 depending on the quality of the hotel you stay in. If you eat at the above-mentioned restaurants in Sylhet, then the average cost per meal will be 600-800 taka, which is quite good.
