Chitrakote Falls Tourism

Chitrakote Falls, often referred to as the 'Niagara Falls of India', is a spectacular natural waterfall located in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, India. Situated on the Indravati River, the falls are about 38 meters (125 feet) high and can be about 150 meters (490 feet) wide during the monsoon season. The horseshoe-shaped waterfall is known for its magnificent beauty and the sheer volume of water that cascades down into a horseshoe-shaped gorge below. The surrounding area is a combination of dense forests of the Deccan Plateau and the rich biodiversity of the Eastern Ghats, offering a picturesque backdrop to the falls. This waterfall is an important part of the local indigenous culture and is a focal point for many festivals and rituals. Due to its scenic beauty, Chitrakote Falls is a popular destination for tourists and photographers, especially during the monsoon season when the flow is at its peak and the lush greenery adds to its charm.
