Tour Overview
About Bastar – The Land of Forests, Waterfalls & Tribal Heritage
Bastar, in southern Chhattisgarh, is a captivating land of dense forests, magnificent waterfalls, ancient temples, tribal traditions and timeless crafts. From the dramatic landscapes of Kanger Valley and Chitrakote to vibrant tribal markets and exquisite Dhokra art, Bastar offers an immersive journey into the rich natural and cultural heritage of Central India.
The region is home to the spectacular Kanger Valley National Park, known for its lush forests, limestone caves and cascading waterfalls, including the magnificent Tirathgarh and Kanger Dhara. Beyond its natural beauty, Bastar offers an opportunity to discover one of India’s richest tribal cultures, with villages, weekly markets, traditional food, music, dance and centuries-old customs forming an integral part of everyday life. Dantewada, with the revered Danteshwari Temple and the ancient temple town of Barsoor, provides a glimpse into Bastar’s spiritual and architectural heritage. Further west, Chitrakote Waterfalls, often described as the “Niagara Falls of India”, create a spectacular horseshoe-shaped cascade on the Indravati River. The surrounding countryside is equally captivating, with Mendri Ghumar and Tamda Ghumar waterfalls, forest trails and traditional village experiences. Bastar is also renowned for its distinctive Dhokra metal craft, bamboo work and other indigenous art forms, making a visit to its artisan villages particularly rewarding. This journey is therefore not merely a sightseeing trip—it is an exploration of nature, indigenous culture, history, spirituality and living traditions, experienced at a relaxed and meaningful pace.
