Chitrakote Falls, located approximately 38 km west of Jagdalpur in Bastar district, is the widest waterfall in India, spanning nearly 300 meters during the monsoon season. Formed on the Indravati River, the falls cascade approximately 29 meters, creating a horseshoe-shaped gorge. Often referred to as the "Niagara of India," Chitrakote Falls is particularly breathtaking during the rainy season when the river is in full spate, producing a misty spectacle and rainbows in the sunlight.

Situated about 35 km southwest of Jagdalpur within the Kanger Valley National Park, Tirathgarh Waterfalls is a block-type waterfall on the Munga River, dropping approximately 91 meters in a series of three cascades.
