Napittachora is a forest stream in Khoiyachora union of Mirsharai, inside the Baraiyadhala hills. Walking up the rocky stream bed from Nayduar, trekkers reach a series of falls and pools, including Kupikatakhum, Mithachori and Bandarkhum. The trail takes a few hours and is most rewarding in the rainy season when the falls are full. It sees far fewer visitors than nearby Khoiyachora.
