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.

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.
