About Chachai Falls#
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.

Chachai Falls is accessed from the town of Rewa and regional roads in northeastern Madhya Pradesh. The nearest larger railhead and bus connections are in Rewa; from there, local transport or taxis cover the remaining distance to the falls and the park area.
