It is a long journey from Sylhet city. Took almost 3 hours to reach the destination. We were lucky enough our driver whom we rented knew an alternate way to reach shimul bagan so we didn't have to use motorbikes or boats. The road is bad, narrow it goes through a village. No good resthouse or restaurant where you can take a break. The shimul bagan is beautiful! You can take amazing pictures if you have a photo expert with you. Per person, ticket is not more than tk20. Children sell shimul mala at tk10/20. There's a merry-go-round which is so much fun! and a few horses that will take you around the whole bagan. The problem is there is no such shed from the sun so please wear sunscreen. There's a restroom for male and female since I didn't use it don't know whether they were clean or not but there's a washroom at least. Only one restaurant inside the bagan sells drinks, chips, chotpot, fuchka. You can spend about 25 to 40 minutes in the shimul bagan, next you can go to Niladri which is a breathtaking place about 40minutes away. One thing I want to mention is those who are coming outside from Sylhet is that shimul flowers bloom only for 3 weeks in February so, please make sure your trip...
