From Bogalake to Keokradong, we enjoyed a lot. After reaching Keokradong, we found another world of beauty at the top of Keokradong. Enjoying the fresh wave and rain bearing cloud from the top of the highest mountain was stunning. After half of the day, we took launch at Keokradong and decided to visit Jadipai waterfall. We were 4 in number and well-known guide Belal with us.

Travel from Keokradong to JadIpai Weter Fall: 

From Keokradong, it took around 2:30 hours to reach the ground of this waterfall. At along these lines traveler will pass the "Passing Para" and "Jadi Para". It was a total downhill trekking and it experienced our mental and physical strength. Amid of our trekking way we took some rest at Passing Para and Jadi Para. According to the local tribal, Jadi means a “flame of fire”.

Passing Para Village

After most of the hard working downhill trekking, we found a lovely flatland where young tribal are playing football which is very near to Jadi Para. The flatland is surrounded by big mountains and wild forest; it looked like a scene of “Hollywood horror movie”.

On the way to Jadipai Water Fall

Last 30 minute of this journey is truly risky for its vertical and unshaped downhill path. Moving step to step was so hard and horrible. The entire way was covered by different kinds of insects like leeches and others. Hence the tribal do not visit this area very often. 

Straight Downhill Path to Jadi Pai Falls

At the very end of this trekking, one of our friend “Brinto” had withdrawn himself not to enjoy the fall due to the straight downhill trekking path. After all, when the traveler reaches the ground level of Jadipai falls he will overlook all the anguish on the grounds that the natural magnificence of Jadipai waterfall is truly stunning and surprising.

Charming View of Jadipai Falls

Subsequent to coming to the base of the waterfall we had an animating shower and took some photographs. Likewise, we have delighted in about one hour around the falls. It’s an exquisite waterfall. The surface of the waterfall is folded and this is the fundamental motivation to make the waterfall lovelier. At long last, the stature of this widest waterfall is respectable as well. At the time to return from the danger area to flatland we were delighted and welcome by a wonderful rainbow over the wild mountain. 

Rainbow On Wild Mountain 

It was the little bit unlucky evening for us due to a cloudy sky with slightly drizzling and the time was so short. It was about 3:00 hours of sharp climbing to reach Keokradong. It is truly a dedicated undertaking task. Perhaps this is the purpose behind every individual who has gone to the waterfall don't visit twice.

Taking Rest at Jadi Para

If you plan to visit Jadipai Falls it will be best for you to stay overnight at “Passing Para Cottage” or “Jadi Para” at tribal home. It will be the best place for a photographer to enjoy the sunset over wild mountains.
