The waterfalls in Bangladesh are an immense emblem of natural beauty. Nature enthusiasts mingle themselves into these heavenly springs to cherish their souls. However, it is hardly possible to enjoy voluminous water flow in these fountains through all seasons round the year. The profound gift of rain makes its presence felt in the monsoon. The heavy showers make the waterfalls and fountains lively. The magnificent beauty of the waterfalls is visible from mid-July to September. So let's get to know about the most attractive waterfalls in Bangladesh.

7 spectacular waterfalls in Bangladesh

Khoiyachhora waterfall

This huge waterfall is located in Mirshorai Upazila of the Chittagong division.

The fountain is located 4.2 km east of the Dhaka-Chittagong highway on the north side of Borotakia Bazar in the Khoyachhora union of Mirshorai.
