Introducing Srimangal
Put the kettle on and let’s have a nice cup of tea. But have you ever wondered what goes into producing that little bag? Well, in Srimangal (or Sreemongal), the tea capital of Bangladesh, you can find out all about it. This hilly area, with tea estates, lemon orchards and pineapple plantations, is one of the most picturesque and enjoyable parts of the country. For miles around, tea estates form a perennially green carpet on the sloping hills, and it’s the one area (besides the Sundarbans) where it is possible to look around and not see another human being. In addition to learning all there is to know about tea, you can also go primate-potty in a range of forest national parks, get the low-down on tribal life and discover that pineapples don’t actually grow on trees.
