Introduction
A riverside stone-quarry village on the Piyain River in Gowainghat, near the Bangladesh-India border, where clear hill streams from the Khasi Hills run over layered piles of rock. The stacked-stone scenery is best in the dry season when water levels drop; in monsoon the river rises and travel is by boat, with flash-flood risk from hill catchments. It is one of the most popular day trips from Sylhet city.
Suggested time: Half a day
How to get there
From Sylhet, Wikivoyage describes the route as: CNG taxi or chartered vehicle from Amberkhana Point to Hadarpar Bazar, then by boat to Bichanakandi. In monsoon much of the route is boat-dependent. Confirm current fares and boat arrangements locally before travel.
Important notes

The honest truth about costs
Main costs are the CNG/chartered vehicle and boat hire; no verified fare figures were found in fetched sources, so go with locally agreed rates.
What you will need to budget for
- Getting there (bus, train, launch or air fare)
- Stay (per night, per room)
- Food (per person, per day)
- Entry tickets and local transport
- A small buffer for the return journey
