SYLHET, Aug 29, 2025 (BSS) - Songrampunji Waterfall, located near Jaflong in Sylhet's Gowainghat Upazila, sits just across the India-Bangladesh border at the foothills of the Khasi-Jaintia range.

From Zero Point in Jaflong, it takes around 15-20 minutes to reach the waterfall, whether on foot, by boat, or a combination of both depending on the season.

Songrampunji waterfall - known locally as "Mayabi Jhorna" - is a stunning natural wonder that truly shines during the monsoon. This three-tier cascade flows down mossy rocks, creating a captivating display of sound, mist, and movement.

What sets Songrampunji apart not only for its beauty but also the mystery it holds. The third tier features a shadowy tunnel whose end remains unexplored, beckoning the curious and adventurous.

Surrounded by lush forest and near the borderlands of India, the falls offer more than just a picturesque escape - they provide a sensory experience, deeply rooted in natural splendor and Khasi tribal culture.

As the location is on the Indian border, tourists must visit under the security guard of the Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB).

A group of students from Sylhet Polytechnic Institute, who visited Jaflong to witness the enchanting waterfall, noted that this time, due to less rainfall, the waterfall was trickling.

Murshed Sayem, one of the students, mentioned that the flow of the waterfall they saw in a vlog was different from what they experienced. 

"Nevertheless, we still enjoyed it. Perhaps it would have been more enjoyable if we had visited during the rainy season," he said.
