Khoiyachhora Waterfall

খইয়াছড়া ঝর্ণা

The 'queen of waterfalls' in Mirsharai — a seven-tier cascade chain inside Baraiyadhala National Park (some count twelve-thirteen tiers). Everyone repeats the same verdict: the seventh tier is the most beautiful, and the most dangerous to reach. In monsoon the flow, in one traveller's word, is 'abundant'.

History & significance

It lies in the Mirsharai portion of Baraiyadhala National Park, declared in 2010.

How to get there

From Dhaka, a Chattogram-bound bus (non-AC ৳600-650, AC ৳1000) or train (৳120-135). Tell the conductor to drop you at the Khoiyachhora falls gate, just before Bara Takia bazar. A CNG runs ৳20 per head to the parking point, then a 1-1.5 hour trek. Guides are available on site.

Entry fee

৳20 · traveller-reported

Ticket ৳20 per person — the counter logs your name and mobile number. Guide fee is separate.

Opening hours & best time

You must be out by 5 pm — staying later is prohibited; guides clear the trail with megaphones. Go early.

Best time

Monsoon brings full flow — and maximum slipperiness. Not for everyone.

Traveller tips

  • Only practiced trekkers should take the upper tiers; novices should stop below.

  • Gate shops sell sticks, sandals and shorts — forgotten gear is no crisis.

  • Carry dry food and water — no shops on the trail.

  • Mornings mean fewer people and better photo light.
