Hi @ASMHasan,
What a wonderful waterfall you visited. You are Lucky! Still couldn't manage to visit this place.
It would be highly appreciated, if you can add country name after district name with Google Map Location.
Thanks again. LetsGuide!

@MdAtikuzzamanLimon Thanks for your beautiful suggestion. Your advice is my inspiration. When you visit there, don't forget to visit 'Shantipur Buddhist Temple'. The place is really worth a visit.

This is great news, @ASMHasan, thanks for sharing! What vegetables and orchards are going to be planted?

@IrrPavlova Thanks for your nice comment.
You will be happy to know that, fruits and vegetable orchards are now a common sight in Khagrachhari and other hill areas of Bangladesh. Spinach, red amaranth, mustard, radish, basil, pulse, oil-seed, spices (turmeric, ginger), citrus, orange, mango etc. are cultivated there.
It's a matter of sorrow that some international tobacco companies are promoting tobacco cultivation there. Those companies are providing fund, fertilizer to the farmers and motivating them to grow more; which is very alarming for us.
Do you know what Boro cultivation is? Boro is a type of paddy cultivation from November to April with facility of irrigation.
Thank you again!

Hey @ASMHasan,
This is such a nice post that you shared. Was this dam recently built? I believe it must be of help for lots of people.
