Teerathgarh Falls is a multi-step waterfall within Kanger Ghati National Park in Chhattisgarh, India. It is a widely visited natural attraction in the Bastar region and forms part of the park’s riverine and forest landscape.
The waterfall cascades over a series of rock ledges and forms pools at the base that are commonly photographed and visited for bathing and sightseeing. The site is set within deciduous forest and is part of a network of park trails and viewpoints.
The falls developed where a tributary flows over resistant rock layers and are associated with the park’s karst and riverine geomorphology. Over time the location has been managed as a park attraction with constructed viewpoints and access paths to the falls.
