Discover more about Hail Haor

Hail Haor, nestled in the Sylhet division of northeastern Bangladesh, is a captivating wetland ecosystem renowned for its natural beauty and biodiversity. Primarily located in the Moulvibazar district, it extends into Sreemangal and Habiganj, encompassing a network of interconnected beels, canals, and waterways. Known locally as Latapatar Haor due to the abundance of vines and shrubs, it stretches across approximately 10,000 hectares. The haor's landscape transforms dramatically with the seasons. During the monsoon (June to October), the area swells to cover approximately 14,000 hectares (140 sq km), creating a vast expanse of water reflecting the sky. As the waters recede after the monsoon, the exposed land is converted into rice fields by local communities. The winter months (November to February) attract migratory birds, transforming the area into an avian paradise. Birdwatchers can spot various species of ducks, teals, herons, and egrets. Hail Haor is deeply intertwined with the lives of local communities, with approximately 60,000 people depending on its resources for their livelihoods. Visitors can interact with these communities, learn about their traditions, and gain a deeper understanding of their relationship with the haor. Boat trips are a popular way to navigate the haor, allowing visitors to access remote areas and witness the landscape's beauty. The experience is enchanting during sunrise and sunset, when the sky is painted with vibrant colors.
