Waterfall

Khoiyachora Waterfall

Chattogram

The biggest of the Mirsharai waterfalls, nine main cascades one above the other in a forested gorge, reached by a wet, rocky trek up the stream from the highway; at its best from the monsoon to October.

Himchari

Cox's Bazar

Twelve kilometres south of town on the marine drive: a small waterfall off the hill, a long stair to a viewpoint over the beach and the Bay, and the national park's forest behind.

Richhang Waterfall

Khagrachari

A 30-metre fall sliding down a smooth rock face in the hills below Alutila, 11 km from town: a steep stair down, a pool at the bottom and a natural rock slide that everyone tries.

Toiduchhara Waterfall

Khagrachari

Two falls on a stream in the hills of Dighinala, reached by a two-hour trek through jhum fields and streambeds from Dighinala bazar: the big one drops in a wide fan over a rock wall; a full day for walkers.

Panthumai Waterfall

Sylhet

A tall waterfall on the Meghalaya hills, seen from a boat on the Piyain at Panthumai village in Gowainghat, right on the border.

Dhuppani Waterfall

Rangamati

A high fall in the deep hills of Bilaichhari, reached by boat from Kaptai and a hard walk: water drops about 200 feet in a white curtain (dhup pani, "white water") into a gorge with a cave behind it; a monk's meditation site, open to visitors only on certain days.

Shuvolong Waterfall

Rangamati

A 300-foot fall straight into Kaptai Lake at Barkal, reached only by boat through the Shuvolong gorge, where the hills close in on the water: the climax of the lake day, loudest in September and October.

Hum Hum Waterfall

Moulvibazar

A tall fall deep in the Rajkandi reserved forest of Kamalganj, reached only on foot through hills and streams.

Madhabkunda Waterfall

Moulvibazar

One of the best-known waterfalls in the country, where a stream drops off the Patharia hills in Barlekha into a deep pool.

Parikunda Waterfall

Moulvibazar

A quieter fall of about 150 feet in the same Patharia hills, a short walk from Madhabkunda.

Amiakhum

Bandarban

The fall and gorge in the Nakshiyang reach of the Sangu beyond Nafakhum, a day further on foot: white water through a slot in black rock, the Satbhaikhum pools below, and the hardest trek the ordinary visitor does in Bangladesh.

Jadipai Waterfall

Bandarban

One of the widest falls in the country, below Jadipai para on the far side of Keokradong: a steep two-hour descent from the peak to a broad white curtain over rock, roaring in the rains, with a rainbow in the spray on sunny mornings.

Nafakhum

Bandarban

The widest fall in the country by volume, where the Remakri stream drops about 25 feet into a gorge, reached from Thanchi by boat up the Sangu to Remakri and a three-hour walk: the signature trip of the upper Sangu.

Rijuk Waterfall

Bandarban

A 300-foot fall straight into the Sangu, 7 km downstream of Ruma bazar, seen from a boat: a white ribbon off the cliff into the green river, full from July to October.

Shoilo Propat

Bandarban

A stream fall over a slab of rock beside the Thanchi road, 8 km from town, with a Bawm village market at the top: the first stop on every drive to Chimbuk and Nilgiri, best in the rains.
