About Chitrakote Falls
The 'Niagara of India' — a 300-metre-wide horseshoe cascade on the Indravati river that roars through Bastar's sal forests, the widest waterfall in the country.
Best Time to Visit
July to October
Peak monsoon (August) brings the full 30-metre drop. By summer the flow reduces to three separate streams — still beautiful but less dramatic.
