Explore the rugged beauty of the lofty mountains romancing the shimmering waterfalls , where water plummets hundreds of feet in large volume, forming a spectacular scenic grandeur. The fury and beauty of these milky waterfalls is best seen when in full flux, just after the copious monsoon when it attains its full 160 meters width and falls 100 mtrs deep down on the waiting Mugabahar river. The Tirathgarh falls enchants the visitors with its pristine beauty.
Bastar is a land of waterfalls. The next day we visit Tirathgarh falls on the Kanger river. Spectacular cascades stream down steep ravines. This time, the access is at the foot of the falls and there is a crystal clear puddle where one can wade, bathe and swim. A tiny temple perched on a rock face opposite the falls is a perfect spot to sit and reflect. The Chhattisgarh Forest Department has a guest house here which offers views that seem second only to what one might witness in paradise itself. You curse yourself for not having booked your stay there. Not far away from the falls is a trekking trail through thick jungle - the virgin forests of the Kanger National Park. It is strewn with giant anthills, some reaching as high as eight feet (2.4 metres). The Adivasis make a tasty chutney out of red ants, you are told. It is past noon by now and there is no movement or sound in the jungle. You tiptoe and whisper in hushed tones so as not to disturb animals that might be in the vicinity. And suddenly you almost jump out of your skin as a barn owl swoops down with a screech to its hole in the tree.
