Day 2 - Immersed in Nature's Abode: Flora, Fauna and Fragrances

Begin the second day of your expedition by diving into the serene green landscape of Sylhet's emerald crown - its centuries-old tea gardens. Delight in the opportunity for a tour of Malnichara Tea Estate, the oldest tea garden in Bangladesh. Drinking in the verdancy and soaking up the fragrant tea leaves while learning about the tea-making process is an authentic and exhilarating way to spend the morning. Later, make your way to Lawachara National Park, a verdant sanctuary of rare fauna and vibrant flora, a tropical wonderland where you can encounter the endangered Hoolock Gibbons among other rare species. Lastly, curate an appetizing end to the day by trying some local street food, like fuchka or chotpoti.
