Dhuandhar Falls
धुआँधार जलप्रपात
The Narmada plunges into the marble gorge, throwing up clouds of mist that look like smoke. A cable car across the river gives a bird's-eye view of the falls.
Dhuandhar Falls lies upstream of the Marble Rocks gorge at Bhedaghat, where the Narmada drops about 30 m. The water crashes onto rocks and throws up thick spray, and 'Dhuandhar' means 'smoking cascade.' From the parking area, a walk of about 10 minutes along a path lined with vendors leads to the viewpoint. A cable car across the river takes a few minutes round trip and offers an aerial view of the falls and gorge. Fares are about 100 to 200 rupees. The water volume is greatest after the rains, and the viewpoint can be slippery, so take care. Nearby stalls sell marble carving souvenirs. The falls are about 22 km from town and are usually combined with a boat trip through the marble gorge.
