Chitrakote Falls

Chhattisgarh, India

4.5 (0)

Overview

The 'Niagara of India' — the Indravati plunges 29 m over a 300-m horseshoe lip in Bastar's forests, thundering chocolate-brown in monsoon and splitting into elegant white ribbons by winter, with rainbows dancing in the spray.

Why visit: India's widest waterfall — a horseshoe cataract deep in tribal Bastar.

Things to do

›View the horseshoe from the top platforms at sunset
›Boat ride to the base of the falls (post-monsoon)
›Visit the small Shiva shrine on the lip
›Combine with Tirathgarh Falls and Kanger Valley caves
