Kapil Dhara

  • No matter whether you are on a road trip or are flying all the way for a vacay, there’s always joy involved in relaxing in the midst of rushing sounds of falling water. 
  • In Amarkantak, one of the oldest towns of India located in Madhya Pradesh, Kapildhara Waterfall is held in high regard for their antiquity and legend.
  • For the unacquainted tourists, Amarkantak is located 1000 m away from the sea level at the conjunction of Vindhyachal and Satpura ranges with the Maikal Mountains being the joining point. 
  • This holy town is blessed with the perennial presence of Son, Johila and Narmada rivers.
  • There are lush and youthful forests in Amarkantak, and in the middle of these, is located the Kapildhara Waterfall.
  • The waterfall is situated 6 km from the Narmada Kund. 
  • The hallowed waters of the Narmada River cascade from a height of 100 ft which turns into a waterfall. Kapila and Erandi rivers also join Narmada to form Kapil Dhara waterfall.
  •  Ancient lore has it that the great sage Kapil performed severe austerities at the site of this waterfall.
  • The base of the waterfall is accessible via concrete steps, which helps you to get a good view of it. 
You can spend some time admiring Mother Nature, click photos and just soak up the peaceful air.
