On top of that, the area is one of the most popular due to the presence of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST). Because of the university, the localities around it have been developed to attract both visitors and students from across the country.
The area of Akhalia can be easily accessed by multiple roads. So whether you are traveling via University Road, Akhalia New Market Road, Kalibari Road, or Sylhet-Sunamganj Highway, you can easily get your way around the area. It has multiple bus routes, but it is also convenient to travel around the area using cars, rickshaws, CNGs, and other local transport. Unfortunately, the area doesn’t have a railway station nearby.
