Nafakhum Waterfall

About

Nafa-khum (Bengali) 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 or 7.62-9.144 meters. The word Ngafa 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.
