Discover more about Bholaganj Sada Pathor - Sylhet

Bholaganj Sada Pathor, translating to 'White Stone of Bholaganj,' is a breathtaking natural attraction located in the Companiganj Upazila of Sylhet, Bangladesh, near the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, India. Approximately 35 kilometers from Sylhet city, this hidden gem has earned a reputation as a haven of natural beauty, drawing visitors with its unique geological formations and serene ambiance. The landscape is dominated by a vast expanse of white stones scattered across the riverbed of the Dhalai River. The area's history is intertwined with the stone quarrying industry. The white stones, primarily limestone, are remnants of natural sedimentation processes over millions of years, sculpted by the flowing waters of the Dhalai River. These stones have been a valuable resource for construction. Visitors can walk along the riverbanks, explore the stone beds, and take in the serene beauty of the landscape. The clear water of the Dholai River, with the white stones shimmering underneath, makes for a perfect setting for nature photography. Other activities include swimming and boating. The surrounding hills and tea gardens offer opportunities for exploration, birdwatching, and trekking. The monsoon season (May-October) is the most suitable time to visit.
