Jabalpur

The beautiful city of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh has a blend of both historical and natural places of interest. It is well known for the Marble rocks gorge formed by the River Narmada at Bedhaghat. Showing off gleaming white rocks on both sides of the Narmada with dark green volcanic seams, the gorge is a masterpiece of Mother Nature, spectacular to behold in the sunlight and moonlight. A boating trip down the river would create memories for a lifetime. One can also take the cable car that affords a view of the Dhuandar Falls and the Marble rocks. Tilwara Ghat holds a significant place in Indian History as it is here that Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were immersed in the Narmada
Rani Durgavati Museum has a good collection of artifacts dating back to the 10th and 11th centuries, letters and photographs related to Mahatma Gandhi and models and photographs depicting the Gond people. A combination of adventure and religious interest could be satisfied by a trek to the Chausat Yogini Temple. The 16th century monuments at Sangram Sagar built by a Gond King and the 12th century Mala Devi Temple are also worth visiting. Jabalpur is well connected by air, rail and road.
