Chitrakot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chitrakot (alternative spelling Chitrakut) is a waterfall on the Indravati River, located near Jagadalpur, in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. This river is a tributary of Godavari River. The height of the fall is 100 feet.^[1] The breadth of the waterfall varies as the water level in the river goes down drastically during summer. However during monsoon the river flow touches both the banks of the river, and is filled with silt. In contrast during summer the water carries no silt and looks different. The area around the falls is largely forested. Nearby is the Kanger Ghati National Park. Also nearby is the Indiravati Tiger Reserve.^[2]

[edit] Chitrakot in monsoon

The day before the photographs were taken the region was cut off due to floods, so the photographs here will show you close to the maximum strength of the water. However when most visitors visit and in the government tourism website done find them much narrower but taller. This in a way a contrast to Jog falls which has water that looks white during monsoon.
