Dhuandhar Falls
Beraghat is the beautiful place, not far from Jabalpur. At Beraghat, the Narmada flows through a 5 km. long gorge. On its both sides are towering white marble cliffs. Below the gorge, flows the Dhuandhar Falls. The Dhuandhar Falls literally means the smoky falls.

Marble Rocks
The Marble Rocks are situated 24 km from Jabalpur at Beraghat. These rocks rise to 30 m and stand on either side of the 5 km. gorge through which the Narmada river flows. These rocks produce a magical effect in moonlight. It is an exciting and unforgettable experience to row past the Marble Rocks on a full-moon night. The silence of the night is broken by the soft plop of the boatman’s oars. The waters of the river reflect the moon at night. Recently the Marble Rocks have been flood-lit by the Department of Tourism. Boats are also available for boating. Cheap marble carvings are also available at the site.

Chausath Yogini Mandir
