Satchari National Park — Attraction in Sylhet Division

Satchori National Park is really a beautiful place. This place is quite natural and peaceful. Actually this spot is a part of an ancient forest. Day by day we’re reducing the percentage of forest and facing global warming. In this warning situation such place would be the greatest place for spending weekend. This place has eye soothing greenish nature as well as a cool environment. There is a watch tower and some trail to explore the forest. Multiple hills are also included with this forest. The watch tower is situation at the middle hill. This hill is also called sanctuary for butterflies. There are different kinds of animal live in this forest. This forest is also a sanctuary for those animals. If you will lucky enough then you can meet some rare animal while tracking through the trails. I did not track, I just went to the watch tower area and could enjoy the whole forest at a glance with the company of some beautiful butterflies. I noticed that palm trees are predominant in some specific hills and another hills contain mixed variety of trees. The trees of Satchori forest are shorter than the trees of Lauachara forest. There is some adventure zone in this forest which was damaged while I visited. You have to pay fifty taka in the forest gate to enter. Seven canals pass through this forest, this is the reason behind it's naming ‘Satchori’, in Bangle language ‘Sat’ means seven and ‘Chori’ is like canal. We made our journey from Baniachang, Habiganj. At first we went to Habiganj Bus Stand and from here we moved to Shayestaganj. Then we hire an autorickshaw to go to the forest, it costed 300 tk. Transport is not available there always, so we haired that autorickshaw for our whole journey and our total cost from Shayestaganj was 700 tk. In local transportation per head cost would be 60 tk from Shayestaganj. I will suggest to make a visit there to all the tourists and please do not harm the...
