History Of Kanger Dhara

Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India
Kanger Dhara is a picturesque seasonal waterfall or cascade located within the lush, biodiverse boundaries of the Kanger Valley National Park in Bastar. The term Dhara means "stream" or "current," and this particular spot is known for the Kanger River flowing over a series of undulating, rocky struc tures rather than a single massive drop, creating a beautiful tiered or stepped cascade. Its beauty is highly dependent on the season, coming alive with robust flow and a white spray of water immediately after and during the monsoon season (July-October). Geologically, the area is fascinating, characterized by a mix of sedimentary terrain intruded by igneous rock bodies, which accounts for the unique folded structures of the rocks over which the water flows. As an integral part of the National Park, a protected biosphere reserve, the surroundings of Kanger Dhara are marked by dense, mixed moist deciduous forest, featuring a predominance of Sal, Teak, and Bamboo. It serves as a quieter, more intimate natural attraction compared to the major falls like Tirathgarh. To visit Kanger Dhara, mandatory permission and entry tickets must be obtained from the District Forest Office located at the park's main entry point, and it is compulsory to hire an official forest guide, which is a standard procedure to preserve the sensitive ecosystem. The location provides an excellent spot for nature photography, enjoying a brief moment of tranquility, and observing the rich flora and fauna of the Kanger Valley.
