Nafa-khum

Nafa-khum (Bengali: নাফাখুম) is a waterfall in Bangladesh on the Remaikree River, a tributary of the Sangu river. It is among the largest waterfalls in the country by volume of water falling. The wild hilly Remaikree river suddenly falls down here about 25–30 feet.

The word Ngafa (ঙাফা) in Native Marma language means Baghair fish/ Dwarf goonch and "Khong" means "Ground". A special type of flying fish, whose local name is nating, is found at the bottom in a small cave as they swim against the stream but cannot jump over the height of the fall.

Location

The falls are located in a remote area two hours' walking distance from Remakree bazar, Thanchi Upazila, Bandarban District. In the rainy season while water level increases, navigation by boat to Ngafakhong is about 20–25 minutes journey which can be hired from Remaikree estuary. Remakree is located three hours by boat on the Sangu River from Tindu, which is itself three hours by boat from Thanchi. Ngfa-Khong is a very popular as a tourist destination. But due to increasing number of mass touring the surrounding ecology has been deteriorated these days.

gollark: I mean, their phones have some good points:- amazing CPUs- shiny- 5 years of software updatesbut many bad ones:- not very durable- weird notch in screen- excessive amount of cameras- insane pricing- very locked down OS- needlessly big screens
gollark: I probably could, it would just be bad.
gollark: For example, if I install Arch on some random laptop from 10 years ago it'll probably run fine, although some hardware may not be supported and it might have trouble with browsers because those are horribly processing-intensive.
gollark: Amazingly, OSes can be mostly hardware agnostic.
