Description:
A spectacular picture is what the Chitrakoot waterfalls are. The River Indravati, a tributary of the River Godavari, plunges dramatically in a great arc, great swathes of it's frothy waters crashing headlong amidst sprays worked up by the winds, and down below, a foamy, misty, roaring chaos, like a sequence of uninterrupted never-ending watery explosions. These falls, compared only to Niagara of America, are not only enormous in size and the largest in India, but also the most beautiful and mystifying waterfalls of India. The mini Niagara, as it is known, with its vast horseshoe configuration and great height, the Chitrakoot falls differ from the American landmark in one very big way; it is still relatively obscure, little known to the outside world.
Hardly 35 kms from Jagdalpur the waterfalls are easily accessible and watching the gush of sparkling milky white water from the height of about 100 feet is an amazing site. There is a perpetual rainbow to be seen during the daytime.
The falls are at there full just after the rains, and give a thrilling site. The clear sparkle of water and verdant surroundings give a great feeling. The magnificent beauty of the waterfalls is indeed mesmerizing.
