One of the largest waterfalls in Bangladesh
It is one of the largest waterfalls in Bangladesh. Its nine amazing steps make it unique. The atmosphere is really beautiful, with a good flow of water and green forests around. However, the trail to the waterfall is somewhat risky. Travelers must be careful. It is highly recommended for adventure lovers.
The higher you climb, the more beautiful it gets. It gets especially beautiful during the rainy season, when the trail becomes more challenging. This is the best waterfall I have ever seen.
By local standards, it is a spectacular waterfall. However, it requires a long approach, involving a couple of hours of walking along an uncomfortable path, particularly in the rainy season.
