A rocky road lined with many stones, big and small, starts just above the Amiyakhum waterfall at Thanchi in Bandarban, a land of natural beauty. After crossing the road very carefully, you will come across a huge rocky outcrop with green, calm and clear streams in between. And from here begins Sat Vai Khum.
Many also call it Velakhum. The next path will be by bamboo raft. After embarking on the raft, you will feel as if you have suddenly entered a rocky fort. This time it was turn to be speechless and look with fascinated eyes. And at the same time you will feel that the rocky mountains that touch the sky on both sides are welcoming you in the green forest with solemnity. The forest is embracing you in the kingdom and the green clear waterways are giving you a warm welcome.
Although all the metaphors are used to describe the beauty of Sat Vai Khum, perhaps the description of its beauty will be stingy. On the way back from the lush green forests of Sat Vai Khum, the waterways pass and the rocky mountain kingdom, you will be accompanied by a great feeling of a thrilling, inaccessible and terrifying journey.
According to the locals, Sat Vai Khum is named after seven stones. Sat Vai Khum is named after the largest of the seven boulders that have fallen from the mountain of the gods. And the first stone was broken into two pieces last year.
“The stone has been broken by the curse of the mountain of the gods for the way the tree is being cut down from the mountain.” – They think so.
