Visit the freshwater swamp forest Ratargul Swamp Forest

Ratargul swamp forest is found in the Sylhet area of northwest Bangladesh. This is quite popular with both local and foreign tourists. This region, surrounded by Meghalaya hills and bordering India, is also regarded as the wettest portion of Bangladesh, and one of the most recent discoveries is a sweet water swamp forest. This sweet water swamp forest is around fifteen kilometers from Sylhet and is one of the few in the country.

The best time to visit the forest is during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons from May to October. You must first travel by car and then take a small, locally made tourist boat. The most unique part of the forest is in the southern part, where you can get the reflection of the trees, enjoy the amazing silence, and see wildlife such as monkeys, squirrels, different types of birds, and snakes. They can be spotted while fishing or boating, and on a sunny day, beautiful landscapes can be seen. Visiting the swamp forest is one of the things about Bangladesh you should know before traveling.
