NATURAL ESCAPES

Boasting of a vast natural heritage, Chhattisgarh is home to the broadest waterfall in the country— Chitrakote Waterfalls. According to a popular folklore, the waterfalls has been named after herds of deer (called chitar in the Halbi dialect) that lived in the surroundings. Located approximately 275 kilometres away from the capital city, Raipur, these waterfalls are famously known as the ‘Niagara Falls of India’. Surrounded by sal forests and cliffs, the sight of a rainbow at the waterfall is every visitor’s dream come true.
