Sada Pathor tourist spot is at Bholaganj zero point in Companiganj upazila of Sylhet. The north end of Bholaganj, near the Indian border, is called ‘10 number area’. The place is 35 km to the north from Sylhet city. It takes about an hour to get by a bus or autorickshaw.
Since the largest stone mines of the country are at Bholaganj, the Sylhet-Bholaganj Highway is a busy road under the pressure of thousands of trucks. In the past, the road was very bad. But now the entire road has been rebuilt, widened, with stone-cement instead of pitch.
Apart from the local buses, two new bus services have now taken to the streets: BRTC’s double-decker bus and ‘Sada Pathor tourist transport’. There are also CNG-operated auto rickshaws. CNG-operated auto-rickshaw station is at Amberkhana point, Sylhet. Up to ‘10 number area’ of Bholaganj, the CNG fare per person is Tk. 120. The bus-stop is located in Mazumdari, approximately two hundred yards north from Amberkhana. From Mazumdari to Zero Point near ‘Sada Pathor’, BRTC double-decker bus fare is Tk. 60 and tourist bus ‘Sada Pathor Transport’ fare is Tk. 70. You can also board a local bus at Mazumdari for Bholaganj Point, then can reach the ‘10 number area’ boat-ghat by a rickshaw or tomtom. However, local mini-buses are very small and old.
Very useful information about Bholagonj…it help people who is planning to visit this Bholagonj…Thanks you!!
Thank you too Jack, for the nice comment. Bholaganj Sada Pathor is within walking distance of my house. So the information in this regard is given from my direct experience. Welcome!
Thank you so such! Very informative article! I am planning to visit sada pathor, ratargul and bichana kandi. Can u please suggest me how can i cover all these 3 places in 2 days? Thank you once again. I wish ur prosperous future.
Welcome, Shuchita Azad. 2 days is more than enough to travel to Sada Pathor, Ratargul and Bichanakandi in Sylhet. So, I suggest you add one or two more destinations with Bichanakandi to your travel plan, like Panthumai waterfall. This is because Ratargul and Sada Pathor are almost on the same route, so it is easy to visit these two places in one day. But you have to go to Bichanakandi by another route, from Amberkhana in the city to Hadarpar in Goainghat, then to Bichanakandi by boat. If you have time to see Ratargul and Sada Pathor in one day, then you can also visit Utma Chora.
can i cover jaflong and sada pathor in a single day?
Traveling to Jaflong and Sada Pathor in one day is not impossible, but quite difficult. Because these two places are in two Upazilas, and there is no direct road between the two places. So my advice is, you plan to visit Sada Pathor and Bichanakandi on the same day. Because though they are also in different Upazilas, the distance between these two tourist places is comparatively less. Thanks.
