Jadipai Waterfall Bandarban

Jadipai Waterfall is located just one and a half kilometers away from Keokradong Hill, the third highest peak of Bangladesh in Bandarban district. The streams of clear water from these 3 mountain streams of Keokradang, Zongchia and Jadipai come together and join the Sanggu River in the form of Jadipai Spring from about 200 feet above the black rock. Jadipai is one of the largest springs in Bangladesh. The falls are surrounded by lush green hills and pure intoxicating nature. Jadipai, whose chest is cut by the sound, is flowing like the queen of the springs of Bandarban.

You can visit Jadipai Jharna at any time of the year. Even though the water in the spring is less in winter, trekking is convenient. Besides, if the water in the spring is high during monsoon, this time is a bit risky for trekking. It is best to visit this waterfall during the post-monsoon season.
