River travel has also been opened from Tindumukh to Ngaphamukh.
In Ruma, tourists can travel from the Keokradong peak to Sungsungpara.
The Rijuk Waterfall has also been reopened, allowing visitors to reach the spot by river.
The decision was announced in a press release signed by Bandarban Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate Saniul Ferdous.
