An adventurous and challenging trail where awaits a memorisming waterfall. Which will wash away all the hardship of travel. Don't forget to take mosquito repellent cream. And I don't recommend people to go there who don't have previous trekking experience.

15/20km far from town. have to track 20 km atleast in the trail.way is muddy and slippery. there are leeches in the trail. natural beauty will surround you. the waterfall is so nice. water is so cool. can swim there.

One of the toughest waterfall trail in Bangladesh. The road is very dangerous in rainy season. It becomes muddy and slippery in the rainy season. The trail is full of leeches and other wild animals. One can easily hurt oneself here in the road and as well as in the waterfall.

The place is awesome without any doubt,, but carries life risk for anyone unprepared.

This is awesome but trackers should be careful about the way. When u will reach their, u will feel a another level enjoyment

Together me and my wife we went for a day long trekking to Hum Hum Waterfalls during the end of this July from Sreemangal..! Located in Moulvibazar district, this is very close to the Indian border, you have to go to Sreemangal from Dhaka by bus, train or private vehicle. And, there is no proper place for families at, or, around the Hum Hum Waterfalls for night stay. So, it must be a day trip to and from this place. Though, few of my traveler and Cyclist friends took tents with them and camped during the night just outside of the forest.

This was a great journey this time to the falls, some places the path was muddy, some slippery, some places you had to cross small strings, galleys and canals..! You will have to climb up and down walking both the ways.. through a jungle trail. During rainy season, there would be leeches found on your feet few times, not big deal at all, however check often. Its an excellent trail to trek, so this is not at all only about the Water Falls..! A must to go place..!!!

As said earlier, in most/ usual cases it has to be a day trip. So, start from Sreemangal by 7:00/ 7:30 am, DO NOT START LATE...!!!

How to go to and from Sreemangal from Dhaka:
i) By bus: Hanif Poribahan (bus service) and Shyamoli Poribahan have bus to Sreemangal every hour all day long..! Ena has AC buses on in the morning and another in the afternoon (google for latest update). However, if would like to save hotel bills you may travel both ways during the nights. Bus starts from Sayedabad, each of the bus companies have their ticket counters for purchasing the ticket and waiting.
For AC Bus: it might take something like 700 or 800 taka one way, for non AC 450 taka..! Caution: If you have a weak heart please do not dare to go by Hanif, they drive like Nascar drivers..!

ii) By Train: All the train from Dhaka starts from Komlapur Rail Station, there is a train that starts in the morning and another at 9:30 pm in the evening. Train fare starts from 240 to 1,000 taka. However, the night train reaches Sreemangal as early as 2:30 am/ 3:00 am/ 3:30 am that is inconvenient for many reasons, accordingly choose day time train if you are wiling and enthusiast about train.

iii) By Cycle or private/ hired car: Its only 180 Km road trip from Dhaka, so no matter what you take its great journey. You may follow Dhaka to Sylhet Highway through Kulshi 300 feet road, Kanchanpur bridge, Maona, Sylhet highway..! Quality of Road is fine all the ways only need to be a bit more careful during Kanchanpur to Maona and Voirob to Bramhanbaria junction due to more traffic in these sections.

Transport: From Sreemangal you may take CNG Auto Rickshaw for the whole day to go and come back with the same one. The Auto Rickshaw will wait for the whole day until you come back. You wont get anything from there on the way back, if you don't contract for the whole day. It will take 1,500 to 2,000 taka for the whole day. Nothing additional. You may take a Chander Gari (old 4 wheel jeep) it would go further than CNG upto Kolabon para.. and would be faster with 3,000 to 4,000 taka for the whole day. From Kolabon para.. it is around 4 Km trekking/ hiking..!

Food and Drinks: Take dry food and energy/ peanut/ chocolate bar, dry dates, water, Chanachur, chips/ fries.. with you..! As there wont be any shop both ways. You would get bottled water, packet snacks at the falls site. But be very care not litter but bring with foils and packs with you for the sake of environment.

Trekking Guide: At the entry gate of you would get some tea garden laborer and locals sitting, you would get a guide within 400 taka.. for the entire day.. till the end of the trip. Guides are good and reliable..! We had Bidhan as guide, you may also search for him.

Caution: Start as early as possible in the morning, don’t litter, prefer a Chander Gari (old jeep), take some dry food and water with you.

Have a Great Trip...!!!

A place where everyone must go for once!
If you love adventure hiking trough hills this is perfect place to go..On rainey day you have go via channel which links to the waterfall but in winter you have to go trough hills which i found much exciting
Note that:The place not for to go for the people who is afraid of heights or Weak heart and who don't like to walk for a long time.

If you love trekking then this place is for you. walk is about two and a half to three hours and the path is quite dangerous. There is also the fear of jokes and mosquitoes on the way. Take these things in mind and then leave.And yes, if you want to see the real beauty of Hum Hum, you must go in the rainy season.But keep in mind that the road (mountain road) is very slippery when it rains, if you eat the slip can be a big danger, so be careful. There was prayer😀

Best water fall of Bangladesh at Kamalgange,Sylhet. Most horrible tour experience ever.

Wow! Wow, wow.
What a adventurous place I have ever gone!
The only walking way of 2 to 3 hours passing through full of leech, vertical slippery hillocks, poisonous leaves and a pinpoint silence will make you thrilled. By the time when you will pass through the deep forest, unknown birds digit will bewicth you.

It's a very nice place but it's a long journey for a lot of walk

One of the most beautiful water falls in Bangladesh situated at Komolganj Upo zilla under Moulvibazar. It is a must visit place of our country.

Very beautiful place. From kola para you have to take a guide. Two ways to go. Jhiri path & Pahari path. It is better to go with Jhiri path & back with Pahari path. You will have to climb a hill in jhiri path and have to cross a canal(swim) in pahari path. Jhiri path is so much thrilling and adventurous. But in rainy season, it is difficult to climb down the hill. So, come back with pahari path. Must see place.

Hum Hum Waterfall is a natural waterfall located in the Kurma forest bit area deep in the Bandi Protected Forest. It is also known as Hammam Jharna by locals. The path to the waterfall is slippery and muddy, so you might need some assistance to walk. The scenic view is extraordinary and the waterfalls and trees boost the environment there.
