It was on 4th june. One of my best friend called me and said, "Lets go to Sylhet on 5th june". And I am
always positive for the tour whatever its summer,winter or rainy season.The first challenge was to collect the tickets. At 9 AM , I tried to buy tickets for the trains from banani. The price of tickets was promising as its only 180 taka to get SHOVON CHAIR. But we didnt have that much good luck...there was no tickets as it was Thursday (weekend). So, the next option was BUS. And luckily we got two tickets of GREENLINE(scania). 
The worth of the ticket was 450 taka. Actually, the way we got the ticket is also a good story but i dont wanna describe this in my blog.We left dhaka at 7:30 PM and reached Syhet at around 12:00 PM. Sylhet was totally an unknown place for both of us. But fortunately, my friend had a colleague from Sylhet and he took the responsibility of hotel reservation.As Sylhet is a MAZAR oriented city, it was really tough to get a good room on Thursday. Still we got a room that was not bad,but........ Anywa...only for spending night, it was good enough.
Now, time to hang out.....my friend's colleague said that, "jaflong is good, but volaganj is better". So, we took a CNG and started to volaganj. It took around 1 hour to reach volaganj. And the sights beside the road were really awesome. And the volaganj..... it was simply cool.The weather was outstanding ...just after the rain.
The view was magnificent... the hills, the clean water, boats everything was just amazing. We saw Cherapunji from the BD border.The day labors were collecting rocks. One more thing I should add that we got from the CNG driver, usually its a great place for rock dust, but it wasnt there as the rain fell in the morning. Thanx Allah for helping us.Our second trip was in the MC college. It was a stunning, cool enough to walk without dripping in sweat.Its an outstanding place to date.But we didn't have that much time as we went JAKARIA PARK. One more thing, we got lot of tea garden while getting back from the volagonj.And we went to a mazar where a huge number of monkeys were just waiting for the people. We bought biscuit and one of monkeys just snatch that away from me. It was really funny. And the JAKARIA PARK, its a artificial park with two deers,some birds, some small rides,lakes,some exclusive bungalows etc. But the area was big enough and its also a really cool place to date. Here is a catch, its really far from the city and the entry fee is 50 taka per person.
The sun was dropping while we started to our hotels.
At night, we visited Hazrat Shahjalal(R)'s mazar. We were so lucky that we got two first class tickets of train...And the first two hour view from the train was really wonderful.
Overall, it was a simply wonderful way to spend a short weekend and we will definitely go back again, hopefully that will be very soon.
