Local tips
- Hire a local guide in Thanchi; it's mandatory and ensures a safe and enriching experience while supporting the local community.
- Wear comfortable hiking shoes with good grip, as the trails are rugged and slippery, especially during the monsoon.
- Carry sufficient water and energy snacks for the trek, as the journey can be physically demanding.
- Visit during the winter months (November to February) for pleasant weather, or during the monsoon for the most spectacular water flow.
- Respect local customs and traditions when interacting with tribal communities, and be mindful of their way of life.
Getting There
-
Trekking
The final approach to Amiakhum Waterfall involves a trek from Thuisa Para, typically the last village with lodging. Begin early morning to cross Devota Pahar (Deity Hill). The descent from Devota Pahar is steep and takes about an hour. After descending, the trail leads directly to Amiakhum. The trek from Thuisa Para to Amiakhum takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours. A guide is essential. There are no tolls or entry fees specifically for this final trekking segment. However, guides typically charge Tk 4500-5000 for the entire Amiakhum, Velakhum, and Satvaikhum trip. Food costs around Tk 120-150 per meal at tribal houses.
-
Boat
From Thanchi, the most common way to start the journey to Amiakhum is by hiring an engine boat to Remakri. The boat ride takes approximately 4 hours along the Sangu River, passing by Raja Pathor and through scenic landscapes. The cost for hiring a boat from Thanchi to Remakri and back is approximately Tk 4000-4500 for a boat that can seat 5-6 people. Bargaining is recommended. This is a necessary step as there are no roads for transport beyond this point.
