The experience

Sreemangal sits in the Moulvibazar district of Sylhet division and functions as Bangladesh's tea capital: the center of the country's largest tea-producing region. The town is ringed by tea gardens, hills and forests, and the three days here move between them at a pace that lets you see how the region actually works. On day one you settle into an eco lodge. Day two takes you by 4x4 through tea and pineapple plantations to Humhum waterfall, a one-hour walk into the forest. You stay as long as you want before heading back by 5pm. The same day includes Lawachara National Park, a semi-rainforest with exotic trees and a local village you're allowed to visit: monkeys live here and you might spot them. You end the day at a tea cabin drinking the seven-coloured tea the region is known for. Day three focuses on the tea gardens themselves: you visit plantations from up close and look at rubber plantations as well.

The tour moves by 4x4 and on foot, and the physical demand centers on the one-hour hike to Humhum waterfall. The area is home to Khasi, Monipuri and Tripura indigenous communities, and the rainforest walk passes through a local village where you meet them. A guide who speaks English, Bengali or Dutch travels with you throughout, and pickup from your hotel is included in the price.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Bangla and Dutch.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 18).

What is the Humhum waterfall hike actually like?

The walk to Humhum waterfall takes one hour through the forest, and you stay there as long as you want before the group heads back by 5pm. It is a moderate walk on a forest trail, not a technical climb.

Will I see wildlife in Lawachara National Park?

Lawachara is home to monkeys, rare bird species and reptiles. You might encounter monkeys during your visit, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. The park is a semi-rainforest with exotic trees not usually found elsewhere in Bangladesh.

What does the seven-coloured tea taste like, and where do I drink it?

The seven-coloured tea is a layered drink made with different types of tea and milk. You drink it at a tea cabin on day two. It is the region's signature beverage and tastes sweet and creamy.

How much time do I spend actually walking versus driving?

Day two includes a one-hour walk to the waterfall and a one-hour walk through Lawachara rainforest to visit the local village. The rest of the day is by 4x4 through plantations and between sites. Day three is mostly on foot touring tea and rubber plantations up close.

Is the eco lodge comfortable, and what is included there?

You stay at an eco lodge for two nights. The reference material does not detail the amenities, so contact the operator directly for specifics about rooms, meals and facilities.
