Hi, happy holidays! I'd like to share about a trip I made last year.

Napittachora is a rocky bed or a gorge complemented by three fountains. In every rainy season, it turns into a hotspot for tourists. But getting there is no easy task, anyone wants to savor the beauty of it, must cross mountains first.

Fountains usually shine with true delight in the rainy season. All the downpour in the mountains joins the fountains with a congenial force. Therefore, the current is really forceful. Heavy rainfall washes away some of the rocks, making new rocky beds. This is why every year, Napittachora looks a bit different, a bit new.

Location and how to go there:

Napittachora is located in Chattogram, Bangladesh. Chattogram is a hilly area, there are plenty of places to go here. A sea of green you could say.

First, we went to Noyduyari Bazar of Mirsharai Upazila (sub-district). We walked alongside a village to reach the base of a mountain. The road is muddy. After a while, the mountain showed its shape. Either side of the road had fields with vegetables growing in them. A large portion of all the vegetables sold in Chattogram comes from here. Oh and if you cannot find the road, a guide can be hired.
At Tiprakhum, the base of the mountain, people of Tripura tribe live along with a few Bangali families. There are arrangements to keep your valuables safe. There’s also food to buy. It’s recommended to leave your heavy backpacks and shoes for safe-keeping. Your shoes won’t help you on Slippery, muddy mountain path, and knee-high rocky submerged watery bed. unless they’re proper boots for these kinds of things. You are likely to get tired and thirsty. Keep some food and water on you.

Navigating through the green-ish gorge, we came upon the first fall. "Kupikatakum". Under the fall, there is a deep natural well and if you can’t swim, don’t dare get in there. Kupikatakum is famous for taking lives.

From there we climbed the steep mountain road. A new rocky road emerged to the right and that leads towards the third fall. But our current road took us to the second fall, Baghbiani. It is said, once there were tigers roaming around here.

Stream of water flows through the gorge. The falling chunk of water made a shallow well. The water feels cold there.

We had to step back to go to the other fountains we mentioned. The third one is named Bandorichora. The return journey was a bit hard on ourselves as we had to navigate through and climb bigger rocks. Looks like descending is harder than climbing here lol. If not careful, we could’ve broken a leg or two. Well, probably not that but a few scratches here and there, for sure.

Kupikatakum and Baghbiani had a rocky road but Bandorichora doesn’t have all that. The entire path had one heap of rocks and that’s it. As if mother nature is being generous to the worn-down traveler.

I loved the trip and there are a lot of places in Bangladesh that I want to explore. Chandronath Pahar is next.
