Rijuk Falls ('Ri Swang Swang' in the local Marma language) is a beautiful natural waterfall located on the banks of the Sangu River in Ruma Upazila of Bandarban District, Bangladesh. Its cool water falls from a hilly elevation of about 300 feet directly into the Sangu River. Although it has a flow of water throughout the year, it takes on its full youthful and intense form during the rainy season, which can be witnessed by boating from the riverbed.
