Guide: a weekend in Sylhet's tea gardens - where to stay, what to skip
গাইড: সিলেটের চা বাগানে এক সপ্তাহান্ত
Two days, one rented car, and a route that avoids the Friday crowds.
Key points
- Leave Dhaka Thursday night to have two full days.
- Stay inside a garden estate rather than in town if you want quiet mornings.
- Skip the most photographed viewpoint before 10am; it is empty after 3pm.
Day one
Arrive early, drop bags at an estate guesthouse and walk the garden roads before the heat. Lunch in town; return for the late-afternoon light.
Day two
Drive out to the smaller gardens to the east. They have fewer visitors and the same views.
Skip
The main viewpoint between 9am and noon on Fridays. Come after 3pm instead.
