Jaflong in Bangladesh is called the 'Daughter of Nature' because of its beautiful mountains and rivers. When you visit, you will see tall green mountains on either side of the clear Piyain River. The river's water is so clear that it reflects the colors of the sky and mountains, making it a magical place to explore.
Sylhet has many beautiful places with rivers and hills, like Bholaganj Sada Pathor, Bichanakandi, and Lobhachora. But Jaflong is special because it has really tall and impressive mountains. It's a famous place in the country because of its stunning natural features. In Jaflong, you can see mountains that go up and down, green forests, clean rivers, local people gathering stones, clear blue skies, big tea fields, houses on bamboo platforms in Khasia village, and shiny waterfalls.
In Jaflong, there is a very old bridge made of iron that goes between two hills over a river. The bridge is so high up that when you look at cars driving on it from below, they look like tiny bugs. This bridge is a big attraction in Jaflong because it gives you a great view of the area.

Let's go collect colorful stones at Jaflong! Local people use Barki boats to lift stones from the river. It's a beautiful sight to see. However, in 2023, the court stopped people from taking stones. But don't worry, this rule might change in the future.

The Piyain River goes in wavy lines like a snake. Jaflong has long sandy areas and sometimes small islands appear during the dry season. There are white rocks all over the beach. At midday, the rocky beach looks shiny like a mirror. In the rainy season, Jaflong looks different. The blue hills become green and when they are reflected in the water, the water also looks green.
When it rains a lot in a place called Shillong Plateau, the Piane River can get really full and cause fast floods. The floods bring lots of stones with them, and the people who live there, called Jaflong people, make a living by collecting these stones. If you look along the river, you can see big piles of stones and people taking them out of the river. On the other side of the river, there is a village called Khasia where the Khasia tribe lives. They build their houses high up on bamboo platforms to stay safe from the floods. They also have gardens where they grow a plant called betel and orange trees. The branches of the orange trees bend down because they have lots of oranges on them.
Jaflong is a great place to visit all year round. It looks different and beautiful in different seasons. But the best time to go is during the rainy season from July to September. In the rainy season, you can have fun doing boat rides and water sports. In the winter, you can enjoy walking and taking pictures on the sandy beaches.
One of the coolest things to see in Jaflong is a big waterfall called Sangrampunji Falls. The people who live there also call it 'Mayabi Jharna'. It's a really big waterfall that is found at the bottom of the Khasia-Jainta hills, not too far from Zero Point beaches. The way the mountains, rivers, and waterfalls come together here is really beautiful.
