Mayali Nature Camp and Reservoir

Mayali Nature Camp and Reservoir is an eco-tourism destination centered on the Mayali Reservoir in Mayali village, Bagicha block, Jashpur district, Chhattisgarh. Developed by the Chhattisgarh Tourism Board and forest department, it combines a scenic water body with forested surroundings. The site is notable for boating, island-like reservoir views, nature cottages and its promotion as a family picnic and nature retreat in northern Chhattisgarh.

Visitors can expect a large reservoir surrounded by forested hills and open landscape with a developed nature camp on its bank. The area includes boating facilities on the reservoir, viewpoints over the water, landscaped picnic areas, and eco-cottages for overnight stay. The setting is quiet and natural, suitable for sightseeing, photography, birdwatching and leisure walks around the reservoir periphery.

Mayali Reservoir was developed as a medium irrigation project in Jashpur district and later developed as an eco-tourism nature camp by the Chhattisgarh Tourism Board and Forest Department to promote tourism in northern Chhattisgarh.
