Suptadhara waterfall in Sitakunda – Chittagong

Sitakunda eco-park from Chittagong district has two waterfalls, one of them is known as Suptadhara waterfall. This waterfall remains dormant throughout the year, except during the rainy season. If you are there during the rainy season then you’d be able to enjoy the beauty of the waterfall full of water. Most of the time the waterfall is having 3 separate droppings over the rocks. But during a heavy rain pour they may join all together. But during heavy rain it would be very risky to go there.

To reach near the waterfall we had to do a trekking from the main road of Sitakunda eco park. It was around 30 minutes or more of walking so far I can remember. We went there during summer but didn’t see any water. The streams were dry as well as the waterfalls. So we’ve decided to come back again during the rainy season. It was a nice fun walk beside the pristine water stream of the waterfall. We could hear the sound of the waterfall from a bit far.

Suptadhara waterfall is not a massive one nor very tall. Also it doesn’t have too much water as well. Best time to visit the waterfall is the rainy season (July and August in Bangladesh). After having fun around the waterfall for an hour we moved to the top of the waterfall. There was a narrow path that would lead us to the top. From my experience the top of this waterfall was more beautiful compared to the waterfall itself.

It was like a ground with white rock. Plenty of mini waterfalls and cascades. Plenty of mini pools where anyone can take a bath easily. Water was coming from different directions. We had a relaxing time sitting around there and enjoyed the beauty as long as we could. After enjoying the white beauty we’ve started to ride the mountain. We didn’t know which way to follow, we just started to walk. It was tiresome, but it was really exciting. Also throughout the trekking we have done lots of fun that worked as a refreshment for us. After around an hour of walking we came to the main road (where the cars were running).
