Discover more about Bholaganj Sada Pathor - Sylhet

Bholaganj Sada Pathor, translating to 'White Stone' in Bengali, is a breathtaking natural attraction in the Companiganj Upazila of Sylhet, Bangladesh. Located approximately 35 kilometers from Sylhet city and near the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, India, this area has become known as the 'Kashmir of Bangladesh'. The landscape is dominated by a vast expanse of white stones deposited by the Dhalai River, which originates in Meghalaya. These stones, primarily limestone, have been sculpted over millions of years by the river's flow. Historically, the stones were a valuable resource for construction, used in temples, palaces, and carvings. Today, while quarrying continues, the area is also a popular tourist destination. Visitors can walk along the riverbed, marveling at the polished white stones that shimmer in the sunlight. The Dhalai River offers cool, refreshing waters for swimming, and adventurous visitors can climb the surrounding hills for panoramic views. Boat rides provide a unique perspective of the stone formations and lush greenery. The best time to visit is during the monsoon season (May to October) when the scenery is most vibrant. However, caution is advised during heavy rains due to strong river currents.
