Komoldoho - Let's Get Lost In The Springs of Joy

Komoldoho - Let's Get Lost In The Springs of Joy 


This blog is about a trip to a mesmerizing spring of Komoldoho. So let's dive into the beauty of "Komoldoho Spring".

Waterfalls, A word that is close to my heart. A word that gives me peace and happiness. I inherited that peace. Some ago I visited a remarkable place. One of the most beautiful hillside waterfalls. 'Komoldoho Waterfalls'. Every hill and waterfall in Bangladesh is in Shitakunda, Chittagong. Komoldoho is one of the very popular places of Sitakundo among other waterfalls.  So I'll share my experience of my visit to Komoldoho briefly. 


October 4th, 2022. Me and my boys started our journey at 8:30 A.M. We reached A.K. Khan Mor within 25 minutes.  Overall our journey started at 9 A.M.  We got onto a bus that was going to Feni Zilla. The fair rate was 60/- tk for each person. Before getting onboard, you’ll have to bargain a lot or they will rob you quite well. So our destination was 'Boro Darogar Hat'. We reached the destination within an hour.  After getting off at the Boro Darogar Haat Bus Stand, you have to walk forward for 3-5 minutes and go to the opposite side of the road.  There you’ll find a road with a red billboard that says 'Ruposhi Jhorna'.

Entrance to Ruposhi Jhorna 

You’ll have to start walking on that path. You can take a rickshaw or C.N.G to reach the Main entrance of 'Ruposhi Jhorna'. We choose to walk all the way to save money. We went through a small village. The route was long enough to the Main entrance of the waterfalls.

 While going through the village we stopped at a store to buy something to eat and drink on the waterfalls. I won't be adding those costs as they are variables. After walking for a while we reached in front of these 2 shops.  We had to buy tickets to the trail from the Paharika Hotel. The people who sell tickets sit at the table outside Paprika Hotel. Ticket will cost per person 20/- tk. By the way, if you want to have lunch or any meal from these shops, you will have to pre-order your meal. Suppose you are thinking while returning from the waterfalls you’ll eat from one of these shops then you have to pre-order the food before going to the waterfalls. I will not recommend these hotels as they are very costly. Instead, I will advise you to bring food from outside.

After buying tickets we walked for another 3-5 minutes to reach a hill with a signboard.  There were 2 roads. We went to the left one. After a few steps, we reached the start of the trail.

 This trail is a one-way trail, so you won't have to struggle to find the waterfall. We followed the water trail. The trail is more like zig zag.  After walking for 10-15 minutes.  We reached the bottom waterfall.  The pressure of the stream was slow. But the waterfall was an amazing sight to be seen.

First stream (Bottom stream)

 We spent 20-30 minutes in that fall.. After that we saw there was a way to go to the second stream which was on the top of the bottom stream. On the right of the bottom stream, we saw a rope lying on the face of the hill. It was tied up on the top side of the hill. We used that track to go to the top. It was a bit slippery.  If you go there, be sure to track safely.

After reaching the second fall we saw the water flow was weak. We didn’t want to stay there, so we started climbing the same track again and went to the top of the second stream.

Second stream (Middle stream)

Again there is another one-way trail. We followed it. In between every 20 minutes, we took a break, drank water took some pictures, and started walking again..

After walking a while we saw 2 ways.  First, we had gone the straight way and that was the wrong route. So we got back and took the left route.

The distance from that place to the stream was 5 minutes. We again encountered two routes. This time we took the left one. So basically you have to take all the left routes to reach the 3rd and the mainstream. After walking a bit further we reached the stream.

Third stream (Top stream)

The stream was a lot bigger/ taller than the other two. The flow of water was strong. We enjoyed the moment. Had some snacks we took with us. In about 5 minutes, It started raining. Pretty hard.

The stream was totally a different scenario.  It changed like magic. The water flow of the stream was extreme. I couldn’t take pictures because of the rain. 

After spending some time, we started our journey to return. While returning, there is only a one-way route. After reaching the second stream, the level of water reached our ankles. 

Then we got down from the hill and reached the first and the bottom stream of the waterfall. We were thinking that we reached a new destination. The bottom stream was so beautiful because of the strong water flow, we thought we had never seen that stream before. We had a cup of tea near the falls. And again we started our journey towards home.

This was one of the best trips I had in my life. Beauties are hiding in the jungle, in nature.  We just have to explore and find them out. Nothing can heal your soul without this beauty that The Creator has created for us. Travel while you have time or you will be left out of the activity that will make you regret the rest of your life.

I hope you’ll also enjoy the trail of Komoldoho Rupoahi Jhorna and I also hope that my blog may be useful to you. 

Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day.
