Tanguar Haor
টাঙ্গুয়ার হাওর · Dharmapasha & Tahirpur, Dharmapasha and Tahirpur upazilas, Sunamganj, Sunamganj district, Sylhet Division
Introduction
The 'mother of all haors' — about 100 sq km across Dharmapasha and Tahirpur in Sunamganj, designated a Ramsar wetland of international importance on 10 June 2000 (reference 1031). Every winter roughly 200 types of migratory birds arrive, and the haor holds over 140 freshwater fish species. It has grown popular for houseboat trips; in monsoon the basin fills and boats are the only access, with water receding in winter.
Suggested time: 1-2 days
How to get there
Travel via Sunamganj town towards Tahirpur or Dharmapasha; haor trips use locally hired boats or houseboats. In the dry season the Laourergarh route is also used (per travel-guide sources). Confirm boat/houseboat hire and schedules locally; no verified rates were found.
The honest truth about costs
