Trip to paradise in Chhatisgarh

Last weekend we; the whole family along with some relatives and friends visited the place which I call heavens in chhatisgarh. We have made the whole plan in one day, fortunately everybody was ready. (as it is very difficult to arrange a tour for 4 families together... ;) )

We just had heard the name of the places Jatmai and Ghatarani, nobody visited ever there. Everybody was curious to see what is there !!!!. It was a one day trip and journey of around 200 kms in to and fro from my place. The trip was so good, places where so superb, that I was regretting a lot that why I didn't come these places earlier. I thought like I wasted my previous years, being so near to this but did come to see the amazing beauty of nature.

If you are planning to visit any natural beatiful place in Chhattisgarh, you must think about Jatmai & Ghatarani. These are two different places having beautiful water fall & forest area. Here you can bath under Waterfalls and travel the rock montains.There is also a temple called Jatmai Dham. Beginning to Ghatarani falls is not easy by any stretch of the imagination though there is enough tourist infrastructure to make the falls accessible to nature lovers without breaking the bank or unreasonably running a risk your life. But I will suggest take foods with you.

Jatmai is Located in the South East Highlands of Chhattisgarh situated around 85 km from Raipur towards Gariaband (Rajim). Jatmai is 25 Kms from Ghatarani. There is a temple called Jatmai Dham. Both the places has superb waterfalls. "Best time to Visit - September to December" (You will get water fall during this period after December there is no water available).

This trip refreshed me and whole trip member, specially my mother; after a very long time she got to chance visit the places something like this.

There are some photos I am uploading for you, enjoy the visit.
