Places to visit in Sunamganj
Sunamganj is haor country: the monsoon turns it into one boundless sheet of water, and winter makes it a refuge for migratory birds. Along the Meghalaya foothills are a blue quarry lake, a clear river and a silk-cotton grove.
Direct buses from Dhaka take about 7 to 8 hours; or go to Sylhet by train or air, and the bus from there takes another 2 hours.
