Location of the Ratargul
Sada Pathor, located in Bholaganj, Companiganj Upazilla, Sylhet, is known for its striking white stones scattered across crystal-clear river water at the base of the Meghalaya hills. The combination of blue water, bright stones and mountain views creates a calm, almost surreal atmosphere. The area becomes especially lively during the dry season when the stones are fully visible and visitors can walk along the riverbed, take boat rides and capture stunning photos. It’s a favorite spot for travelers looking for natural beauty, peaceful landscapes and a refreshing escape from the city
