Jadipai waterfall, waterfall in Ruma Upazila, Bandarban District, Bangladesh
Jadipai is a waterfall in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region with cascades flowing over rocky terrain. The water spreads across a wide area bordered by steep cliffs on either side, creating a substantial natural feature.
Jadipai is reached by a multi-stage route from Bandarban: a Chander Gari four-wheel-drive to Ruma Bazar, then on to Boga Lake, then a trek via Keokradong. The trail crosses the hillside settlements of Passing Para and Jadipai Para, and its narrow, winding, steep sections demand careful footing. The Bengali Wikipedia gives two hours on foot from Keokradong to the waterfall; the English version gives about 30 minutes from Jadipai Para, 1.5 km from Kiokradang hill.
The trekking route to the falls passes through the hillside settlements of Passing Para and Jadipai Para, where houses stand on the slopes. From Jadipai Para the waterfall is about 30 minutes on foot, and the walk from Kiokradang hill to the para is about one and a half kilometres. In the rainy season people come from across the country to see the flow at its strongest.
The trek to reach this waterfall is demanding and requires solid walking boots and good physical fitness for rocky terrain. It is necessary to arrange a local guide beforehand and check permission requirements to ensure a safe and smooth visit.
Passing Para is a hillside settlement on the trekking trail, not a passage: the route from Boga Lake via Keokradong passes through both Passing Para and Jadipai Para. From Jadipai Para the waterfall is about 30 minutes on foot, while the walk from Keokradong's summit takes around two hours.
