Jabalpur district

A city in Madhya Pradesh on the banks of the Narmada River, marked by the Bhedaghat marble gorge and Dhuandhar Falls.

Jabalpur district is located in eastern Madhya Pradesh, with the Narmada River flowing through it, making it one of the state's major cities. Bhedaghat in the western suburbs is the main highlight, where the river carves through towering white marble cliffs, best explored by boat. The Dhuandhar Falls create a misty spray, and the Chausath Yogini Temple sits on a nearby hilltop. In the city, you can visit Madan Mahal Fort from the Gond kingdom era, the Rani Durgavati Museum, and the unique Balancing Rocks. Gwari Ghat hosts evening river aarti ceremonies, and the Bargi Dam is also worth a visit. October to March is the best time to visit, with the waterfall being particularly powerful after the monsoon. It is served by Jabalpur Airport and a major railway junction.
