Approximately 70km west of Sylhet, this small town offers little for tourists. However, the local haors (wetlands) are rife with bird life, especially during mid-winter through to the end of March, and sometimes until the end of April. At this time, migrants, winterers and residents all get together for one big bird party. Varieties of rails, raptors, ducks, sandpipers and more congregate here. The three haors that seem to be the best for bird-watching are several hours upriver from the Sunamganj River. It's too far for a day trip, but overnight excursions and longer can be arranged in town.
