To Chitrakoot

I have been travelling to the Himalayan regions for the last 2 years. Went to Dodital and again to Bebra Gate to stay for a few days. Exciting and magnificent mountain ranges and thick forest.Now I am planning to go to Chitrakoot as I have been told that it is a wonderful place with forests and rivers and a lot of mythology.I am not a religious person and my idea is to enjoy the wonderful beauty of nature.Can anybody tell me more about Chitrakoot

Thumbs up

Chitrakoot between UP and MP is for me one of the most appealing sites in north India. Probably I can't take all the essence of the place as a religious site but you feel there something special. Is not very well connected with the rest of the country but if there is a will there is a way.

In my gallery in indiamike you can see some pictures of the place, unfortunatelly have lost the full gallery when my hard disk went off.

All the best

Jorge

hi narayanvee,
I could not find much info about chitrakoot in the forum and i decided to take a risk and travel to chitrakoot in dec/jan.
It is a very good place to visit especially sati anusuhya,gupta godavari, etc. It is advised not to venture in the night and recently a dreaded bandit was shoot dead in karvi(chitrakoot)
M P tourist bungalows are good and jaipurisa dharmasal is really good and you have plenty of dhaba's for lunch/dinner.
I will also try to post sum of my photo's about this place.

Hi
I had visited the Jaipurisa Dharmasala at varanasi and the manager said all their dharmasala's are mainted well. But it is not a dharmasala as far the food and rooms tariff are concerned.
Their tariff starts at 650/= double with common toilet and their deluxe rooms are around 1400/=. Their rooms are big, clean and neat and better than any 3 star hotel around godowlia. The waiter boy smiled and said in the name of dharmasala these people are running a hotel. Their lunch or dinner is priced at 75/= but it is neat, clean, tasty and hygenic.
