Bheraghat
The marble rocks at Bheraghat rise to a hundred feet on either side of the river Narmada. A boat ride over the river Narmada flowing between the seven colored marble mountains is a lifetime experience.
In his high lands of Central India Capt J Forsyth wrote of them These white rocks with views of black/dark green volcanic seams rise to 30m on either side of the Narmada river and in moonlight produce a magical effect. Boating on a moonlit night, when the whole stretch of water is transformed into a sheet of liquid silver is absolutely magical and enchanting.
Dhuandhar Water Falls:
The sacred river Narmada making its way through the Marble Rocks narrow down and then plunges in a waterfall known as Dhuandhar or the smoke cascade. So powerful is the plunge that its roar is heard from a far distance. The falls and the breaking of the volume of water at the crest present an awesome spectacle of nature’s power unleashed. The rope way crossing over the beautiful Dhuandhar water falls gives an amazing breahtaking birds eye view.

The evening Aarti or the sacred river Narmada performed daily with rituals and chants at Gwarighat is an event must see.
