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.

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. ) [2] => Array ( [name] => {:en}Rumanapara Waterfall{:}{:bn}রুমানাপাড়া ঝর্ণা{:} [post_id] => 6728 [post_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/places/rumanapara-waterfall/ [thumb_link] => http://offroadbangladesh.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Ruma-Khal21-300x225.jpg [post_content] => {:en}

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.

Hum Hum Waterfall is situated in Razkandi reserve forest in Moulvibazar District. It was discovered in 2009. It is actually a place where you can find the real taste of adventure. The height of the fall is about 135-160 feet. It would be the best to travel this place in rainy season to discover the unlimited beauty of the fall. It is a matter of wonder that most of the Bangladeshi people do not even know about the fall. You can go throw bus or train from Dhaka to Sreemangal. You can find some hotels there. The next step is to go kolabagan bosti. For going to kolabagan bosti, you need to hire a jeep.

The most important thing is you need to start your journey early in the morning about 5-6 am. Carrying Knife, torch, dry food, fresh water, saline, glucose, and fast aid is a must for everyone. Now a days, there are a lot of guides available who can help the tourists to reach Hum Hum. Take some bamboo sticks as a support for you to from kolabagan which will really helpful in the whole journey. Since starting to walk through this for about 30 minutes, the tourist will have to get down in a natural fountain (locally called chhara or nala), where the tourist will have to walk through water. The height of this water level will vary from ankle to thigh level time to time.
