চা-বাগানে চাম কাঁঠাল

As summer arrives, the hills, mounds, and tea gardens of Sylhet become adorned with the presence of jackfruit trees bearing their unique fruit, locally known as 'cham kathal' or 'chappalish'. These small, green fruits, hanging from the trunks of trees amidst the lush tea plantations, are a familiar sight of the season. When unripe, they are used in curries, and when ripe, they are enjoyed as a sweet delicacy. These fruits also serve as a food source for various forest animals, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the rural landscape.

The presence of cham kathal adds to the seasonal natural beauty and provides sustenance for both humans and wildlife in the region.
