Debotakhum’s trail is as beautiful as it is chilling. In the rainy season, just as the trail will catch your eye, there is also a risk of slipping on the slippery, rocky path

Location: Devatakhum,Bandarban,Banglades

In Marma language, the word 'khum' refers to waterfall. Bandarban is termed the kingdom of all khums. Debotakhum is called the king of all khums. According to the locals, this khum is about 50 to 70 feet deep and 600 feet long which is much larger than Velakhum – the other nearby khum – and also much wilder.

Although the name is Debotakhum, no idol (statue of God) of the Hindu community is found here.

There is a story behind the name of the place.

According to the ethnic residents living here, there is an unnamed animal in this khum whose weight is more than 80 kg. Earlier, many people saw this creature with their own eyes in the khum's water but now people do not get to see it.
They consider this creature to be a God. In Bengali the word 'debota' means 'God' and for that reason, the name of this place is Debotakhum.
To get refreshed instantly on the weekends, we had chosen this place for a day trip. To go to Debotakhum, first we went to Bandarban from Dhaka by bus and then took a reserve CNG at Tk2,000 for the whole day. Before starting our journey by CNG we took permission from Rowangchhari Police Station and then headed towards the Kacchaptoli Army Camp.

We also took permission from the Army Camp at 10am and then the trek began. After one hour of trekking, we reached Shilbandha Para (Also known as Liragaon) and from there, we saw the boat station which was just 10 more minutes of walk.

We hired a boat which took Tk150 per person with a life jacket. There was also a strong bamboo raft available to ride. Maximum two persons are allowed on the raft and eight persons in the boat.

Debotakhum's trail is as beautiful as it is chilling. In the rainy season, just as the trail will catch your eye, there is also a risk of slipping on the slippery, rocky path. There is no noise except for the rushing water, and no mobile network.
The path goes through the middle of two hills which you have to pass by raft. This path may remind you how beautiful the path to heaven would be.

Being in the middle of two big hills, Debotakhum is very dark on the inside. The surroundings are so mysterious and silent that it will give you a feel of real adventure.

Hi @whatsupdilli,
Great to see you using the #travelfeed tag! We launched the #travelfeed curated tag more than 3 years ago and have been supporting the best travel blogs on Hive ever since. But did you know that TravelFeed has evolved? Based on the feedback of thousands of Hive travel bloggers we created TravelFeed.io.

TravelFeed.io brings together all the benefits of Hive decentralized blogging with features that you as a travel blogger will love: Photo galleries, Instagram embeds, custom maps, post scheduling and more. And if you want, you can even use our easy site builder to set up your own travel blog on your own domain which can be a great way to generate a passive income from your blog!

Unfortunately, focussing on developing the best platform for travelers means that we no longer curate the #travelfeed tag. But, you can log in with your Hive account on TravelFeed.io to publish your next travel post, and it will be posted to Hive automatically! Every day, we select the best posts and reward them with an upvote and added visibility.

We would love to see you on TravelFeed.io soon :)
