The name "Saitar" comes from the local Bawm language in the region which is said to mean "spring" or "fountain".[6]
Features
Tinap Saitar emerges from the water system of a canal (or watercourse) known as Paindu Canal (or Pindu Canal). During monsoon or rainy season, water flow increases significantly, making the waterfall particularly heavy.[3][7]
The water falls from a height of about 150 feet. It is a popular tourist destination in Bandarban area.[8]
The sunlight in the area can produce rainbows in the mist.[9]
