Baklai Jhorna (Baktlai Jhorna) is currently known as Bangladesh’s tallest fountain. Baktlai Jharna holds another name for it. It is around 390 feet tall and is located in Baklai village, Thanchi upazila, Bandarban district. Nevertheless, there is some disagreement on which of the two falls, Liluk/Langlok Falls and Baklai Falls, is the tallest. Baktlai Jharna, on the other hand, is significantly more beautiful.
Baklai is a well-known trekking village. Baklai has long been a popular rest stop for hikers traveling from Keokradong to Tajingdong. The main reason for this is that this settlement has an army camp, which provides extra security for the adventurers. Since then, the administration has also closed this path.
The torrent’s quick pace, muted sound, and natural surroundings give birth to a distinctive sound as it flows down the gorge of a mountain around 390 (+/-10) feet high and scratches against the rocks below. You must wait five to seven days if you want to view this fountain. Nevertheless, how long you can go depends on how far you can walk. This fountain may be reached by two routes: Thanchi and Ruma.
About a decade ago, a group of passionate travelers embarked on an adventurous journey through the captivating hills of Bandarban. They spent over a month exploring this picturesque region, and it was during this expedition that they stumbled upon the Baklai waterfall. However, their first encounter was not from the front or the base of the waterfall, so they had no idea about its actual height.
It was only later, when DWay Expeditors set out on a journey to a place near the waterfall, that they heard a powerful, thunderous sound echoing through the air. The sheer intensity of this distant roar piqued their curiosity, driving them to uncover the source. To their amazement, they discovered the magnificent Baklai Waterfall, hidden away in the heart of Bandarban.
Despite its awe-inspiring beauty, Baklai Waterfall remains relatively unknown to the general public even today. Few travelers have had the privilege of visiting this remarkable natural wonder, primarily due to the lack of awareness surrounding its existence.
