Debotakhum is in Rowangchhari, Bandarban.
The Rowangchhari route requires current authority clearance and a competent local guide. Heavy rain, unsafe flow, flash-flood risk, landslide conditions or closure stop the gorge activity. Slippery uneven walking and raft boarding require suitable fitness, life jackets and an emergency plan; water colour changes naturally.
Not included
- Domestic flight upgrades and transit nights outside the listed stay.
- Meals outside the included plan, drinks and personal purchases.
- Paid attraction tickets, rides and optional experiences beyond the listed package services.
- Room or cabin upgrades, extra nights, early check-in and late check-out.
