Hum hum waterfall of Bangladesh

This was my second attempt to vanquish the remote waterfall. Hummum from Rajkandi reserve forest, Moulvibazar. Last time I couldn't reach towards the waterfall with my team comprises of ten members due to extreme adversity from weather. If you have time on your hand, you can read that unsuccessful attempt.There, people are now a days trying to make money from the tourists. They are forcing to pick guides from them and possibly it was around 300 taka per guide. Since we have already known to the path, and we have the path loaded on our GPS navigator, we were reluctant to pick any guides. But they were compelling to hire one from them.By paying 50 Taka, somehow we have managed to escape. From the bazaar we were walking with moderate pace through the muddy road. Interestingly a local tractor(use to transport tea-leafs and other stuffs for tea gardens) offered us a free ride. We enthusiastically accepted the offer. They have dropped us almost near to the Kolabon Para village.One of the guy from the village wanted to join us as a guide, but we have denied him politely and thanked him for the offer. Last time there were only one path to reach at the waterfall. But right now people made another twos, possibly shorter in distance. But we didn't know that. We were walking over the new path, and our GPS was showing "Off trek". May be it would be a shortcut, but we didn't want to use this one. So we walked back and picked the right path.Last time it was raining, so the whole road was packed with tons of blood sucking leeches. But this time it is clean sky with plenty of sunlight. The jungle was warm, and the trek was dry enough to retreat the leeches from the main course.When we have reached at the Jhiri. it was having water flowing, but not that much as we have seen last time. We were walking through the Jhiriautiously. The water from the Jhiri was not clean like Bandarban too much murky. We have experienced the water height almost up to our waist at some places.
