Tinap Saitar or Paindu Saitar (Tinap Saitar / Paindu Saitar) is the name of the largest waterfall in Bangladesh located in Paindu Union, Ruma Upazila, Bandarban District. As Tinap Saitar or Paindu Saitar is a very remote area, it is not yet well known to tourists. However, after accepting hundreds of hardships and sacrifices, everyone who went to see this fountain was fascinated by its enchanting beauty.
The features of this fountain are a bit different from other naturally occurring tourist spots. The clear water of this fountain is hot and cold in all seasons. The waterfall falls into the Paindu canal from about one hundred and fifty feet along the winding path from one hill to another. The water of this spring is always clear in the Paindu canal. This view will captivate any tourist. And here in the morning sunlight rainbow can be seen.
However, considering the social security and ecological balance in the area, there is still a difference of opinion among the locals as to whether Tinap Saitar should be presented as a tourist destination to the travel thirsty people of the country.
