About Kanger Dhara Waterfall
Kanger Dhara Waterfall is a seasonal waterfall on the Kanger River inside Kanger Valley National Park in Bastar district, Chhattisgarh, about 30 km southeast of Jagdalpur. Formed where the river flows through undulating forested terrain, it spreads into a wide cascade over rocky steps. Located within a protected national park known for limestone caves and dense forests, it is notable for its post-monsoon flow and natural forest setting.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, stepped cascade flowing over broad rock formations surrounded by dense sal and mixed deciduous forest inside Kanger Valley National Park. The waterfall is accessed via a short forest trail and viewing area. During post-monsoon months water flow is strong and spreads across the rocks, while in summer flow reduces significantly. The site offers open rocky areas for viewing and photography, forested surroundings, and a quiet natural environment within the national park.
