I went to travel to the white stones.
Hello friends Assalamu Alaikum Today I will talk about the beautiful place of Sylhet division, the name of which is Saada Pathar. The common name is familiar to us. It is located in the Companiganj Upazila of Sylhet district. Bholaganj Saada Pathar is known as one of the famous tourist places in Sylhet district. It is an attractive place for people who are thirsty. The local specialty of this sight is the white stone here, clear water and the high mountains of the Meghalaya state of India on the other side. But once upon a time,
Bholaganj was a large stone quarry area of the country. How did Bholaganj, full of dirty garbage, become a famous tourist center of Bangladesh? Sylhet district is famous for its endless natural beauty. And Bholaganj Saada Pathar is a unique example. Numerous tourists flock here every day to see the paradise of stones, clear water, blue sky and distant mountains. Thousands of male and female biologists come to see this white stone every day in the winter and monsoon seasons.
The trip will remain incomplete without seeing this white stone. This is what nature lovers who come here think. But this fairy tale kingdom of Bholaganj was largely unknown. In 1960, the place was very inaccessible. Around 1964, the Chatanj Bholaganj Group line was built. Limestone from India was imported through this route. So the area was always in a state of flux.
To supply the stone below the slip of the railway line, a quarry machine or stone crushing machine was installed in the Bholaganj border area. So the area was always in a state of flux. Although it was destroyed for various reasons, the infrastructure still exists. However, in 2016, the then government, thinking about the environment, stopped the stone quarry or stone crushing industry. Since then, the dusty area has gradually transformed into a beautiful blue land of nature. Which is currently known as one of the country's tourist attractions.
Next to Bholaganj, there are vast mountains in the Indian state of Meghalaya. On the one hand, the waterfalls coming down from where are the main source of water of the Dhalai River. Similarly, the flow of this river is the main source of the natural beauty of Bholaganj.
The green hills around Saada Pathar and the dense clouds and the mountain slopes along with the Saada Pathar Dhali River have increased the natural beauty of Bholaganj a thousand times. Which attracts tourists. In fact, the environment here is very good.
How to go and what to eat
Bholaganj is located about 35 kilometers away from Sylhet city. No matter where you want to travel from in Bangladesh, you first have to come to Sylhet city.
Then from Sylhet, you have to come to Bholaganj with your preferred vehicle, rent a trawler or boat and cross the 20-minute road to Saada Pathar. If you want to travel to Saada Pathar, you can definitely prove that there are tea gardens in places other than Utmachora and Tarun.
There are no good quality hotels around Saada Pathar or around Ghat No. 10. You will find some simple hotels like eating local food or rice and fish. There are several good quality hotels on the way from Sylhet to Bholaganj. If you want, you can eat from there. You can also buy some things after traveling. There are some Indian product shops in the area, chocolates, perfumes, pickles, tea leaves and many more. However, you have to be careful about the quality and expiration date of the products.
Because most of the products do not have an expiration date. Our team had many expired products. Which everyone realized after returning from the trip. So if you take something, take it carefully. Bholaganj white stone We took a team of us and went there and saw many types of stones. Moreover, there are stones that are very old. From here, sand is extracted by boat or tugboat. That sand is scattered throughout Bangladesh.
