Panthumai Waterfall
পান্থুমাই ঝর্ণা
A large waterfall across the river from the border village of Panthumai, viewed from the Bangladeshi side as it cascades down the cliffs of the Meghalaya hills.
Panthumai is a small village on the Gowainghat border. Across the Piyain River from the village, a large waterfall pours down the cliffs of the Meghalaya hills in India, known in India as Phe Phe Falls. It is considered one of the most beautiful border scenes in Bangladesh. Visitors can only view it from the Bangladeshi riverbank or by boat, and crossing the border is not allowed. It is usually combined with a visit to Bisnakandi, and the trip from Sylhet by hired car plus a boat ride takes about 2 hours. The falls are spectacular in the rainy season and carry little water in the dry season.
