In Bangladesh, most of the people used to visit Porikunda Waterfall during the dry season, and they found this is of much interesting place for visiting. Few people know about Porikunda Waterfall. However, those who already have visited the Madhabkunda waterfall and still do not know that there is another waterfall inside the "Madhabkunda Echo Park". Porikunda falls is just before the Madhabkunda falls.

However, it is inside in the Eco Park towards the Madhabkunda falls, which is why people do not get it. During dry season, this falls used to keep dormant which can be another reason and it is only alive during Monsoon. Although the height is around 150 meter, Porikunda falls looks much taller because of gradual steepness from bottom to top. The depth of water is not that much great, but it used to spread its water over the stones when falling down.

If you find it difficult to locate the Porikunda falls, just ask someone who works inside the echo park. They will show you the path. You have to walk through the infertile path over the stream of the waterfalls. Also you cannot skip to get your dresses are wet. Finally be careful, because any moment you can get slipped, and get yourself hurt.

Some people think, this waterfall is more beautiful from the main one, the Madhabkunda falls for its silence (except drops of water). People don't used to come there (because they don't know). No chaos from the other tourists (which is available near the Madhabkunda falls). Porikunda falls is much taller, and the amount of water is not that much great, but it used to spread its water over the stones when falling down. And that just gave an outstanding beauty to the waterfalls.

This is known as Toiduchhori Jhorna-2 (তৈদুছড়ি ঝরনা-২) to us, and Kasing Jhorna (কাসিং ঝরনা) to the local Tripura (ত্রিপুরা) tribe. The height of this waterfall is slight bigger than the previous one. But to my judgement, previous one was more delicate than this one. Water of this Kasing Jhorna falls over a 'stair like' place beneath the waterfall and splashs all around. It was over 4:00 at the afternoon when we were wandering around the waterfall. ) [3] => Array ( [name] => Himchhari National Park [post_id] => 7136 [post_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/bn/places/himchhari-falls-and-echo-park/ [thumb_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Himchhari-21-300x240.jpg [post_content] =>

Himchhari Natural Park is just around 5 kilometers apart from the main town. You can reach at that place by any kind of vehicles. To enter the area, you'll need to buy tickets. Which is around 20 taka. There is only two place that you can enjoy at the park, one is the falls, and another one is the top of the hill.
