Located at the border between Bangladesh and the scenic Indian state of Meghalaya, Jaflong is one of the most attractive tourist spots in Sylhet division, outshined by subtropical mounts and rain-forests, beside the river Piain. Lalakhal is a blue water canal at Sylhet surrounded by mountains of Meghalaya, about a 01-hour drive from Jaflong. In this tour, we offer you on an amusing boat ride at Lalakhal and Piain River, visit tea gardens and Khasia tribal villages, and photograph the stone collection activities in Jaflong. It is a scenic spot nearby amidst tea gardens and infrequent cuteness of rolling stones from hills. It is famous for its stone collection activities of the local people manually and it is the home of the tribe called khashia. You also will see how those tribes grow betel leaves and nuts and run their livelihood and taste some too if you are exploratory.  It is also interesting to do some photography about how people collect stones from the river and take them to crushers manually. At the same time, this tour is very photogenic.
