The sea-like Kaptai Lake has entered through hills and a mile long deep canal has created here. When your boat will enter the canal and you will look to the banks of the canal – I think you will struck with wonder. I consider, this is the most beautiful place in Bangladesh.

The green hills have started towards the sky straight from the canal. The edge of the hills are of various kinds – somewhere the edge has made waves, somewhere it is like great pillars. It seems man has made the pillars but it is really a natural wonder. There are monkeys on the top of those hills. In rainy days many springs fall to the canals from those hills. The scenery of the way to Suvolong is really fantastic. Words cannot explain the real beauty of this place.

Suvolong is on the other end of this canal. There is a picnic corner, an army camp and a beautiful restaurant here. The sweetmeat of Suvolong is famous. So, welcome to Suvolong . Enjoy the beauty and taste the sweets.
