Sreemangal: A Magical Journey To The  Tea Capital Of Bangladesh


Sreemangal, famously known as the 'Tea Capital of Bangladesh', is a land of rolling hills, lush greenery, and endless tea estates. Located in the Moulvibazar district, it is a paradise for nature lovers. The area is surrounded by over 40 majestic tea gardens, including the historic sites under the Bangladesh Tea Board Project Implementation Unit. As you enter Sreemangal, the sight of the Barnis Tiller Sky Touching Green Fair and the emerald tea bushes will make you feel like you've entered a different world. Whether it's the aroma of fresh tea leaves or the sight of the Uchu-Nichu Pahar (undulating hills), Sreemangal offers a serene escape like no other.

The Culinary Pride: Ramesh Ram Gaur's Multi-Layer Tea

​Your trip is incomplete without tasting the legendary tea of Sreemangal. While many offer layered tea, the original Ramesh Ram Gaur's 6 Color Tea (and even more layers) at Nilkantha is a world-famous attraction. Sipping this colorful tea while overlooking the gardens is a quintessential Sreemangal experience.

Comprehensive Transportation & Stay Guide

  • How to Reach: You can easily travel from Dhaka or Chittagong. By train, the Parabat, Jayantika, or Upavan Express are excellent options. By road, Shyamoli Tourism and other reputed bus services provide comfortable journeys.
