Dhuandhar Falls, Bhedaghat

From Jabalpur at a distance of 25 kms is Bhedaghat (State: Madhya Pradesh).

Here the Narmada river, while making its way through the marble rocks narrows down and plunges over the rocks making a powerful roar and smoking cascade. Water falling from a height of 150 ft generates great noise with water sprinkles. It looks like a white smoke or fog. Hence the name Dhuandhar (Smoky) Falls.
