6. Sylhet

Located in the lush highlands of the north of the country, Sylhet is covered in tropical forests and tea plantations. This part of Bangladesh has a history that dates back 800 years and you will find Hindu shrines in Jaflong that are slowly being taken over by the lush shrubbery. In the center of Sylhet you will find markets selling piles of tea leaves and locals cycling around town. You will also find the Bangladesh-India border here at Tamabil-Jaflong as well as the Lawacherra Rainforest which is known for its resident leopards.
