Tamabil, Sylhet, Border crossing point in Sylhet, Bangladesh

Tamabil is a hilly border area in Sylhet, Bangladesh, on the frontier with Meghalaya, India, about 5 km from Jaflong and 55 km from Sylhet town on the Sylhet–Shillong Road. It is known for the Bangladesh Last House on the border and the Jaiñtia Hill Resort. The Tairangal is the nearest river.

Trade between the tea-growing areas of Sylhet and the communities across the hills predates the official border, which was drawn at the partition of British India in 1947. After the border was established, the crossing was gradually formalized and has since grown into one of the main trade corridors between Bangladesh and India.

Tamabil is a transit point on the Sylhet–Shillong Road, and the road itself carries the cross-border traffic: coal and white stone are imported from India through this land port and then distributed overland across Bangladesh. The nearest river to the settlement is the Tairangal.

Buses and shared auto-rickshaws run regularly from Sylhet city along the Sylhet-Shillong Road, and early morning trips tend to be less crowded. Anyone planning to cross into India should have all travel documents and visas ready in advance, as border formalities can take time.

The nearest river to Tamabil is the Tairangal, and the border outpost lies on the Sylhet–Shillong Road, 54 km from Sylhet city, 82 km from Shillong and 300 km from Dhaka. Coal and white stone are imported from India through this land port and trucked onward across Bangladesh.
