Hello- What is interesting to see in Jagdalpur?

shahronakm · Jun 23rd, 2008, 13:13

Never been there but read a lot about Jagdalpur. There is Tirathgarh & Chitrakote water fall, Kanger Valley National park etc., Check out http://www.chhattisgarhtourism.net/

BTW your location shows Chhastisgarh, new to the place ?

Last October I 've been in Jagalpur for a week during Dussehra Festival. The city is very interesting and colorful with loads of tribal population and nice daily markets, the best is probably Sanjay Market.

From Jagdalpur you can visit Chitrakoot and Tirattgarh falls, both are interesting but really Chitrakoot (mini Niagara) is an impresive waterfall.

From Jagdalpur you should visit "Haats" or weekly markets, normally is easy and cheap to go to the markets by bus or shared jeep. Mardum is the best weekly market I've seen in India (I've seen dozens and dozens...), Dharba, Kodenar, Lohandiguda too are interesting markets to visit.

In my gallery here in indiamike you can see few pics taken in the markets.

I presume Kutumsar caves are also there, but don't know whether they're worth visiting.

One way of going is by road from Raipur . It will take at least 7 hours by bus. I am told it is much faster in the night as the bus stops a lot less. The journey is great by road. By train, I think it from Vizag. Through the Arrakku valley. Supposed to be beautiful

I plan to make this trip in first/second week of August. Any idea what are the road conditions like at that time if I travel from Raipur?
Also, any information about stay/hotels would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Road from Raipur is good. (My info is one year old).

There are a few hotels in Jagdalpur. But I suggest you stay at Chitrakote. There is a nice resort over there next to the Chitrakote falls.
