Madhab Kunda Water Fall – Exquisite wonder spot to visit

While, I was working in Sylhet, I had many gusts in every month then I expect. The reasons behind this are that Sylhet region is amongst few places of the country where the topography is prominently featured by hills and hillocks, dales and valleys, scenic tea plantations and lush green tropical forests. The 14th century holy shine of Hazrat Shah Jalal and Hazrat Shah Paran are the main attraction for religious tourist. Madhabkunda- a waterfall, Tamabil and Jaflong are natural scenic spots, Tea Gardens in the area, Waterfalls yards across Indian boarder, hills and hillocks around together create an exotic atmosphere. Another interesting feature of Sylhet region is the aboriginal tribes such as the Tripuras; the Manipuries; Khasia and Garos. Sylhet is also famous for its Manipuri dance. Madhabkunda

One day, my younger brother’s Naim (He lives in Bulgaria) and Babul (Lives in Singapore) and their family come to my house to perform “Mazar Sharif” Zarit and visit Madhabkunda. Before that I did not visit Madhabkunda but I was interested and looking for a nice and safe trip to Madhabkunda. When they proposed me to accompany them, I gladly accepted the proposal and I decided to take a brake and accompany them.

MadhabKunda is situated in the upazilla Baralekha of Sylhet district. And it is about 78 kilometers from Sylhet town and 3 kilometers from Dakhinbagh Railway station. It is in eastern area of Sylhet on the border of Bangladesh and the Indian state of Assam. Madhabkunda is famous for its beautiful largest waterfall in Bangladesh which attracts large number of tourists every year.

Next day, we hired a micro bus and started for the famous Madhabkunda waterfall early in the morning. At around 8.30 am, while, we were passing a ‘haur’, we saw thousands and thousands of birds were flying in the sky. Out of curiosity, when we asked the driver, why there are so many birds? He told us that they were from Hakaluki haur. Then I remember that the greatest “haur” named Hakaluki. Hakaluki haur is the biggest grazing field of migrated birds in Bangladesh.21686118

A beautiful pond is naturally created by the fall and the visitors can’t but to have a sweet bath in the pond. The women stood ankle-deep in the water or watched their kids on the shore. The men stripped themselves to shorts and jumped into the murky base of the waterfall.

I turn on my cell phone and take some snap. I waded into the water for a little bit but ultimately I ended up getting completely submerged in the water. The waterfall itself was very pretty. A couple of people request me to take some snaps for them so I did.
