Chitrakote Waterfalls

Indravati river, the lifeline of Bastar, plunges 96feet (32 m) down the horseshoe-shaped gorge. It is also called “Niagara of India” and also specified as India’s broadest waterfall. This gigantic waterfall is in its full bloom during and after the monsoon, between July and October. The monsoon view of Chitrakote Waterfalls is awe-inspiring.
With an almost permanent rainbow forming in front of the waterfall and slim fishing boats swaying at the base, the scene looks like a watercolour painting. The scenic beauty of the surrounding fascinates visitors and takes them to a totally different world of ecstasy.
The 305m-wide gorge is ribboned by seven distinct streams of the Indravati River, which flows gently on the flat rocky surface before plunging down the edge. The watercolour changes from season to season. In the monsoon because of silt, it turns a little brown in shade whereas in summer it is white and clear. Chitradhara, Tamda Ghumar and Mehndri Ghumar make the circuit to the Chitrakote waterfalls even more pleasant and blissful.
