This falls is called Shuvolong Falls I think.

^^ Well, it's certainly beautiful, but not unique as far as the natural aspect is concerned...there are many beautiful lakes in the world after all. Even here in South Carolina, there is a reservoir lake called Lake Jocassee which is very similar, being surrounded by hills and with waterfalls dumping into it. On the other hand, if Kaptai is promoted both for its beauty and for the indigenous tribal culture, that would go a long way to distinguish it from other similar water bodies. I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. If something similar was set up in Rangamati showcasing the tribal tradiitons of the Hill Tracts, that combined with the attractive natural setting, could be a potential draw for foreign tourists. That, plus improving existing lodging, infrastructure, and public safety.
