Day Plan
Pickup from Jabalpur and transfer to Jabalpur Hotel. Check in to the hotel and Relax. Later proceed to visit Madan Mahal, Balancing Rock and Kachnar City Shiv Statue. Evening visit Narmada River Arti at Gwari Ghat. Night stay in Jabalpur.
Madan Mahal is stands as testimony to the lives of the rulers who ruled Jabalpur for a good number of years in the 11th century AD. Situated at a hilltop, a couple of kilometres away from the city, Madan Mahal Fort was built by the Raja Madan Singh.
Balancing Rock is a natural wonder, Balancing Rocks are a set of seemingly delicately balanced eroded volcanic rock formations. Although they look precariously positioned, they have withstood earthquakes of magnitude up to 6.5 on the Richter scale. No wonder that the locals believe these rocks to be as invincible as they are incredible. One rock is balanced on a huge base rock and only touches it slightly. The point of contact between the two rocks is only 6 sq inches. It is believed that it is impossible to disturb the balance of this rock.
Kachnar City Shiv Statue: The charismatic idol of Lord Shiva is nestled in the Kachnar city and is reckoned among the most sacred tourist spots in Jabalpur. The statue is about 76 feet tall and is truly a sight to behold. The statue is built under the open sky on the cavern which has the replicas of the 12 Jyotirlings and these 12 Lingam has been collected from various shrines of Lord Shiva throughout the country.
Gwari Ghat: Hindus perform their cremation rites here as per Garuda Purana. It is associated with Hindu Puranas, also; due to the presence of Narmada Sidh Kund, near Uma Ghat, wherein renowned Rishis performed Tapas (Indian religions), and it is believed that people are cured of their ailments here. Maa Narmada Temple is also situated here, where Narmada Aarti, is performed in the evenings.

Bhedaghat: Bhedaghat is famous for the high marble rocks making a valley through which river Narmada flows. The place also has a beautiful waterfall, known as Dhuandhar Falls (literally meaning a stream of smoke, because of its appearance)
Marble Rock: The Marble Rocks are a gorge along part of the Narmada River’s, creating a beautiful gorge of about 8 km in length. the gorge was narrow in size and hence, monkeys could cross over from one side to another. This gave the gorge its local name- Bandar Kudni (meaning monkeys' jumping place). The white marbles are predominantly rich in magnesium and are closer in hardness to soapstone.
Dhuandhar Falls: The word 'Dhuandhar' is derived from two Hindi words - Dhuan (smoke) and Dhar (flow), meaning a waterfall where one can feel a smoky atmosphere (this smoke is formed by water vapour or the smoke cascade). The Dhuandhar Falls is located on the Narmada River and are 30 meters high. The Narmada River, making its way through the world-famous Marble Rocks, narrows down and then plunges into a waterfall known as Dhuandhar.
