Bheraghat
(Marble Mountains)
Soaring in glitter splendor, the marble rocks at
Bheraghat rise to a hundred feet on either side
of the Narmada. The serene loveliness of the
scene is one of cool quite, the sunlight
sparkling on the marble-white pinnacles and
casting dappled shadows on the pellucid waters.
In his high lands of Central India Capt J
Forsyth wrote of them: ‘The eye never wearies of
the effect produced by the broken and reflected
sunlight, now glancing from a pinnacle of
snow-white marble reared against the deep blue
of the sky as far from a point of silver;
touching here and therewith bright lights the
prominences of the middle heights; and again
losing itself in the soft bluish greys of their
recesses..’. These white rocks with views of
black/dark green volcanic seams rise to 30m on
either side of the Narmada river and in
moonlight produce a magical effect.Boating on a
moonlit night, when the whole stretch of water
is transformed into a sheet of liquid silver is
absolutely magical and enchanting.

Dhuandhar Falls
The Narmada making its way through the
Marble Rocks narrow down and then
plunges in a waterfall known as
Dhuandhar or the smoke cascade. So
powerful is the plunge that its roar is
heard from a far distance. The falls and
the breaking of the volume of water at
the crest present an awesome spectacle
of nature’s power unleashed.

Excursion to Mandala: Mandla was the
capital of the ancient Gond Kingdom of Garha-
Mandla early in the Christan era. The Gond Queen
Rani Durgavati took here when her army was
concerned by Mugal forces under Asaf Khan in
1564. The fort here was built in the 17th
century and is surrounded on 3 sides by the
Narmada River. It passed to the Marathas and
then to the British in 1818. The jungle has
since taken over the ruins (only a few towers
remain) though there are some temples and ghats
in the town. The Gond Raja, Hirde Shah built a
large palace in a commanding site nearby in
Ramnagar(15 km) of which little remains. Kanha
national park is about 40 km from Mandala.
