Amiakhum is a waterfall in Bangladesh. 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.
Amiakhum is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Bandarban. Surrounded by rocks and green hills, a powerful stream of water rushes down. The milky-white foamy water flows along the rocky surface, instantly wetting the surrounding stone platforms. The constant fall and flow of the water creates a never-ending soundscape.
Located near the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, Amiakhum Waterfall is often described as a paradise on earth. Some consider it to be the most beautiful waterfall in Bangladesh. It is situated in the remote Nakshiyang area of Thanchi Upazila in Bandarban. [1]
Amiakhum is considered one of the most remote places in Bangladesh. It is 76 km away from Bandarban town, and can be reached through Thanchi. From Thanchi, there are two routes to reach Amiakhum:
Route one: Thanchi → Remakri → Padmajhiri → Thuisapara → Debotakhum Hill → Amiakhum
Route two: Thanchi → Remakri → Nafakhum → Thuisapara → Debotakhum Hill → Amiakhum
In the first route, trekking from Padmajhiri takes about 6–7 hours, sometimes even at night.
In the second route, one can take a boat from Remakri and then trek for about 2 hours to reach Thuisapara.
