Raneh Falls
रनेह फॉल
A canyon carved by the Ken River through coloured granite, with waterfalls pouring down after the rains and the Ken gharial sanctuary alongside.
Raneh Falls lies about 20 km north-east of Khajuraho, where the Ken River has carved a rare canyon around 5 km long and 30 m deep. Its walls are made of crystalline granite in red, pink, grey and green. After the monsoon the falls carry plenty of water, while in the dry season the coloured rock layers are clearly visible. Gharials (long-snouted crocodiles) are occasionally spotted in the pools of the gorge. The site lies within the Ken Gharial Sanctuary and requires a ticket to enter. You can drive along the viewpoints, and it is often combined with a visit to Panna National Park on the same day.
