Local people are familiar with this waterfall by the name 10 number waterfall (১০ নাম্বার ঝরনা). Though at internet, you may find another name Hajachhora Waterfall (হাজাছড়া ঝরনা). Whatever the name is, the waterfall is having very less amount of water flow. You may expect this waterfall with full of water in the rainy season. As it is very easy to access, a vast number of tourists use to enjoy their weekends here. ) [2] => Array ( [name] => {:en}Baklai Waterfall{:}{:bn}বাকলাই ঝর্ণা{:} [post_id] => 5342 [post_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/places/baklai-waterfall/ [thumb_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/baklai-waterfall1-300x200.jpg [post_content] => {:en}

Baklai Waterfall is possibly the tallest waterfall of Bangladesh. It has a height of around 380 feet. It is located near at the village Baklai, a village which is deep inside the Bandarban hills. To visit this waterfall, you need to have 5-7 days on hand based on your performance on the trek. It is accessible both from Thanchi and Ruma.

10/12 years back a group of enthusiastic travelers have traveled inside Bandarban and scoured the hills of Bandarban for more than a month. During that visit they discovered this Baklai waterfall from the top. They didn't watch it from the front/base. So they were not aware about the height of the waterfall.

Later on, DWay Expeditors have traveled a place near to the waterfall and only hearing the sound. Hearing the immense roaring sound of the waterfall from far couldn't refrain them to discover what it is actually which they later found out to be the massive Baklai Waterfall. And thus the waterfall came to the common knowledge of the public. Even today, very few travelers visit this waterfall due to the lack of awareness.

বাকলাই ঝর্ণা সম্ভবত দেশের সবচেয়ে উঁচু ঝর্ণা। বান্দরবানের পাহাড়ের গভীরে বাকলাই গ্রামে অবস্থিত এই ঝর্ণাটি প্রায় ৩৮০ ফুট উঁচু। এই ঝর্ণাটি দেখতে চাইলে আপনাকে হাতে পাঁচ থেকে সাতদিন রাখতে হবে। তবে আপনি কতটা হাঁটতে পারেন তাঁর উপর নির্ভর করছে এখানে আসতে কতদিন লাগতে পারে। থানচি এবং রুমা থেকে আপনি এই ঝর্ণাটি দেখতে আসতে পারবেন।

দশ থেকে বারো বছর পূর্বে একদল সাহসী পর্যটক বান্দরবানের গভীরে ভ্রমণ করতে যায় এবং প্রায় একমাসের অধিক সময় বান্দরবানের পাহাড় খনন করে। এই ভ্রমনের সময় তারা বাকলাই ঝর্ণাটি উপর থেকে আবিষ্কার করে। যেহেতো তারা ঝর্ণাটি সামনে থেকে দেখেনি তাই এটির উচ্চতা সম্পর্কে তারা অবগত ছিল না।

পরবর্তীতে আরেক দল অভিযাত্রী ঝর্ণা কাছে একটি স্থানে যায় এবং ঝর্ণার পানি পরার শব্দ শুনতে পায়। ঝর্ণার পানি পরার প্রচণ্ড শব্দ শুনে তারা শব্দের উৎস আবিষ্কারের জন্য অগ্রসর হয় এবং বাকলাই ঝর্ণাটি আবিষ্কার করে। আর এভাবেই সবার সামনে চলে আসে বাকলাই ঝর্ণা। এমনকি আজও খুব কম পর্যটকই ঝর্ণাটি দেখতে যান।

Rumanapara Waterfall is located in the Ruma Upazila of Bandarban District. Rumana Para, a tribal village is located at the source of "Ruma Khal". You'll find plenty of very small (3-5 feet tall) waterfalls around. Nearest is a twin waterfall. It has no name. Since it’s near to the Rumana Para, locals call it Rumanapara Waterfall. If you are blessed with few days of staying at Rumana Para, then you can easily have a bath there. Local village people use this waterfall area for their washing and bath.

There is a small water basin beneath falls. You can have your bath there, and swim at that tiny water pot. It will be lovely to sink yourself inside that cold water. To get near the waterfall, you have to get down around 30-40 feet from the main walking road. It’s a narrow path, and if its rainy season, it will be a bit hard to get down.
