Dhuandhar Falls

Dhuandhar Falls, meaning 'smoke cascade' for the fine mist that rises from the churning water, marks the point where the Narmada river narrows dramatically and plunges through the Marble Rocks gorge at Bhedaghat, creating a powerful, thunderous spectacle particularly striking during and after monsoon. A cable car offers an alternative aerial view of the falls for visitors not wanting to navigate the surrounding rocky terrain on foot.

The falls sit at the same site as the wider Marble Rocks gorge, meaning most visitors experience both attractions within a single visit, typically combining a boat ride through the calmer stretch of the gorge with a viewing stop at the falls themselves.

The falls' name reflects the visual effect of fine water spray rising like smoke from the base of the cascade, a phenomenon particularly pronounced during the high-water months following monsoon.

About 20km from Jabalpur, at the Marble Rocks site.
