Amiakhum is a waterfall situated in the remote Nakshiyang area of Thanchi Upazila in Bandarban, Bangladesh. [1] In the Marma language, khum means waterfall. The hilly Sangu River has created numerous small waterfalls along its course, among which Amiakhum is notable. A khum refers to a place where water never completely dries up. The stream of a waterfall may dry up, but a khum never does.
