Chachai Falls
Waterfall Waterfall in Madhya Pradesh, one of region's highest
Near Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, Chachai Falls drops from high sandstone cliffs; visitors come for the waterfall’s monsoon surge, cliffside viewpoints and nearby picnic and trekking routes.
Chachai Falls is a waterfall in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, India, with a single-drop plunge of roughly 130 meters, making it one of the taller falls in the state.
A steep drop creates a dramatic vertical curtain of water when river flow is high; there are viewing points at the rim and below that are used by day visitors and photographers. The surrounding terrain is a wooded plateau of the Vindhya region.
The falls are a natural feature rather than a constructed site and are visited primarily for their scenic and recreational value.
They lie in northeastern Madhya Pradesh within Rewa district, set on a forested highland plateau.
- Best time: Flow is strongest during and immediately after the southwest monsoon, when the falls are most impressive.
