Brief

Bangladesh is a land of beauty, and it is blessed with boundless natural wonders. Pukur Para Jhorna or Waterfall is just one such wonder. This country has several waterfalls scattered all around. The waterfall is located in the Bilaichhori Thana of Rangamati district. To reach the waterfall, you need to use the trekking routes from Bandarban. FYI, it is just few hundred meter from the Bandarban district’s border.

This waterfall is currently the widest waterfall from Bangladesh. It has a width of approximately 80 meters and a height of 4-6 feet on an average. During the rainy season, you will not be able to see any stones from the waterfall. The only thing visible is the cascade of water, fresh and beautiful. Some people call this place the “Niagara of Bangladesh”. If you walk alongside the stream, it takes around 40-50 minutes to reach at the bottom of the waterfall stream. Except during the rainy season, the path is in good condition, but during rainy season, it is advised to not walk that road as the slippery path is a serious life risk.

This waterfall starts from the water of Raikhong Canal and the water finally ends up in the great Kaptai Lake. Some people used to call this Raikhong River and in line with the name of the Canal/River, some people used to call this waterfall the Raikhong Waterfall. For your information, it is called Pukur Para Waterfall, because there is a village near the waterfall named Pukurpara.

Trekkers used to create a make-shift shelter at Pukur Para village and only visits the waterfall for a few hours. But if you make your trip a bit wisely, you can set few tents around the waterfall during summer or winter for nighttime camp out. There are numerous dry and clean places around the waterfall for your camping. Just imagine sleeping beside a waterfall at night; the sound of the rushing water, a full moon & a sky full of stars away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, absolute bliss.

This waterfall is known as Chhoto Darogar Hat Waterfall (ছোট দারোগার হাট ঝরনা), also known as Shohosro Dhara Waterfall-2 (সহস্র ধারা ঝরনা-২) as an irrigation project (the same name) was built using the water from the falls. Shohosro Dhara Waterfall-1 (সহস্র ধারা ঝরনা-১) is located inside the Sitakunda সীতাকুন্ড) Echo Park.

It is very easy village path for trekking and having lot of trees at both sides for the shades. It is around half an hour of walking to reach near a water dam named Shohosro Dhara (সহস্র ধারা) Irrigation Project. It uses to barrier the water from the waterfall.

The waterfall was very near from the irrigation project dam. You may not find the path to visit the top of the waterfall. You may find a view of another waterfall from that road and according to the local people, it may be very tough to access.

It is basically a tall but slim waterfall having very less amount of water during any season. It use to have water in a large amount (but not violent) only during the rainy days. As soon as the rain is gone, the waterfall starts to get less flow of water.

ছোট দারোগার হাট ঝর্ণাটি সহস্র ধারা ঝরনা-২ নামেও পরিচিত। এই ঝর্ণার পানি একটি সেচ প্রকল্পে ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে। সহস্র ধারা-১ ঝর্ণাটি সীতাকুণ্ড ইকো পার্কের অভ্যন্তরে অবস্থিত।

এই ঝর্ণায় পৌঁছানোর পথে আশেপাশে প্রচুর গাছ থাকায় ছায়ার মধ্যে দিয়ে আপনি সহজেই পায়ে হেঁটে এখানে আসতে পারবেন। সহস্র ধারা সেচ প্রকল্পের বাঁধের কাছে পায়ে হেঁটে পৌছাতে প্রায় আধ ঘণ্টা সময় লাগবে আপনার। ঝর্ণার পানি আটকে রাখতে এই বাঁধটি ব্যবহার করা হয়েছে।

সেচ প্রকল্পের বাঁধের খুব কাছেই এই ঝর্ণাটি অবস্থিত। তবে, ঝর্ণার উপরে পৌছানো আপনার পক্ষে সম্ভব নাও হতে পারে। তবে এই ঝর্ণার কাছে যাওয়ার পথে আপনার অন্য একটি ঝর্ণার দেখা মিলতে পারে। স্থানীয়দের মতে ঐ ঝর্ণার কাছে পৌঁছানো মোটেও সহজ হবে না।

ছোট দারোগার হাট ঝর্ণাটি মূলত একটি চিকন এবং লম্বা ঝর্ণা। এই ঝর্ণায় কোন মৌসুমেই পানি প্রবাহ খুব একটা দেখা যায় না। শুধুমাত্র বর্ষাকালে এই ঝর্ণার পানির প্রবাহ কিছুটা বেড়ে যায়। তবে, বর্ষাকাল শেষ হওয়া মাত্রই ঝর্ণায় পানির প্রবাহ আবারো কমে যায়।
