Niagara in Chhattisgarh?

Well, not exactly. Although it is not as wide as the famous Niagara Falls, Chhattisgarh’s own Chitrakot Falls is a spectacle in itself. And when you pass through some of the densest forests in the country, you’ll see the deep gorges and valleys spreading their arms for you. The fall, situated 38 kilometers from Jagdalpur, is breathtaking. Fed by the Indrawati river, the fall is only 100 feet high. However, looks can be deceptive. During the monsoons, when the river is brimming, the entire breadth of the fall is submersed in water. The sheer force and sound with which the water falls down is a spectacle worth giving your right hand for. And as you go further downstream, the river expands dramatically. If possible, come to see the falls on a full moon night.

The tourism department has made a tourist hut just across the falls on another hillock. One can enjoy the view from here. There are ample accommodation facilities for tourists. But don’t forget to book in advance. You can also move out to see Tirathgarh Falls that is merely 40 km from Jagdalpur.
