Location: Situated in Remakri,
Thanchi upazila of Bandarban district, Nafakhum is one of the largest
waterfalls in Bangladesh.
Height & Flow:
- The
waterfall is about 25–30 feet high, but its width and strong water
flow make it special.
- In
the rainy season, the roar of Nafakhum can be heard from far away, earning
it the nickname “Niagara of Bangladesh.”
Journey &
Adventure:
- To
reach Nafakhum, travelers must first get to Thanchi (around 79 km
from Bandarban town).
- From
there, a thrilling 3–4 hour boat ride on the Sangu River takes you
to Remakri.
- After
the boat ride, a 1.5–2 hour trek through hills, forests, and tribal
villages leads to the waterfall.
- The
entire journey is filled with breathtaking views of green hills, river
bends, and untouched nature.
Special Features:
- The
word “Nafa” means fish in the local Marma language, as
schools of fish can often be seen jumping near the falls.
- Crystal-clear
water, thunderous sound, and misty surroundings make it a paradise for
adventure seekers.
- Ideal
for trekking, nature photography, and experiencing raw wilderness.
Best Time to Visit:
- September
to November (post-monsoon): Water flow is strong, and trekking is
safer.
- Monsoon
season (June–August) makes the journey dangerous due to heavy currents.
- Winter
(December–February) is also good for trekking, but the water flow
decreases.
Travel Tips:
- Wear
sturdy trekking shoes.
- Carry
light luggage, water, and dry food.
- Always
go with a local guide for safety.
- Mobile network coverage is very weak in the area.
