Suptadhara Falls is one of the twp falls in Shitakunda Eco Park. This falls keeps dormant except the Rainy season. If you are there at rainy season, only then, you can enjoy the beauty of the falls with full of water. In the dry season, from the far side of the falls, it will appear that the fall doesn't have any water. But when you move toward the falls, you can see a glimpse of water which is dripping from the top of it.
The beauty of the proximity of the falls is outclass. Small and large block of stones are spread all over. It looks like a kind of white beauty. After enjoying the falls, you can start moving toward the side of the falls for riding the mountain.

সীতাকুণ্ড ইকো পার্কে অবস্থিত দুটি ঝর্ণার একটি হল সুপ্তধারা ঝর্ণা। বর্ষাকাল ছাড়া বছরের বাকি সময় এই ঝর্ণায় পানি থাকে না। তাই শুস্ক মৌসুমে দূর থেকে দেখলে মনে হবে ঝর্ণায় কোন পানি নেই। তবে, ঝর্ণার কাছে গেলে সামান্য কিছু পানি পরতে দেখবেন। যদি বর্ষাকালে এখানে আসেন তবে ঝর্নাটিকে পানিতে পরিপূর্ণ অবস্থায় দেখতে পাবেন এবং ঝর্ণার সৌন্দর্য পুরোপুরি উপভোগ করতে পারবেন।
ঝর্ণার সৌন্দর্য এক কথায় অসাধারণ। এখানে বড় এবং ছোট পাথর খণ্ড ছড়ানো ছিটানো অবস্থায় আছে। ঝর্ণা দেখে আপনি পাহাড়ে উঠতে পারেন।

[name] => Sijuk Waterfall 1

[post_content] => Sijuk Waterfall 1 is located in Rangamati District, but if you decide to have a trip to Sijuk Waterfall (সিজুক ঝরনা), you can form a group comprises couple of ebullient members from Khagrachhari. You may expect poor road condition and other hectic factors. If you start your journey after a quick breakfast from Khagrachhari town, you can start for Dighinala (দীঘিনালা) by using CNG auto rickshaw. It actually costs 500 taka, but you can bargain to manage at best 450 taka.
It would be advisable to contact a tour guide for directions. During the journey, you can enjoy the exquisite beauty beside the road from the vehicle. If you start your journey at 8:00 am, then you can expect to reach Dighinala at 10:00 am morning.
We can reach Nondoram (নন্দরাম) village by 11:00 at morning through bike. The village is beside the river Kasalong (কাসালং). This village is actually located at the Sajek union of Rangamati (সাজেক, রাঙামাটি). Before this village, an Army camp is located on the way. Travelers must entry their names to that camp. You can have tea in that village and then start your trekking again through the hillocks of Rangamati.
Some tribal people pronounce Sijuk canal as Shishuk khal (শিশুক খাল). The canal is formed after joining two mighty streams. The two waterfalls are located at those two streams. You can explore the left side stream first (furthest) and the right side (nearest) stream later.
The level of the water depends on the season, but you can expect to face around an average height of 3-4 ft. But at some points the water level is near 6 ft. Also the canal is totally covered with dark forest.
As the depth of the water is very high, the flow of the water is less. Lot of rotten leafs are available on the water. At some places, the mud under the water produce gasses with bad odors with bubbles when pressed by feet.
The more you progress, the more you welcome the Hati Poka (হাতি পোকা).Those microscopic insect bite can cause lots of pain. Wasps and scary looking mosquitoes are there too. To add these misery, you may find some leafs stinging. A soft brushing those leafs with arms cause you inflammation.
After passing through such hideous, you may finally reach near to the waterfall. We can hear the roaring sound of the waterfall but may not see that. That portion of the Jhiri (ঝিরি) is covered with large rocks. All of the rocks are covered with mosses and ferns. Those are the best hideout for snakes and other reptiles. Also crossing those stones are not easy.
After jumping and bumping through rocks, you can finally reach in front of the Sijuk waterfall. It is having mighty water flow. Shorter and mightier than other one.
