Kanger Dhara Waterfall
Kanger Dhara is a serene, miniature waterfall situated deep within the bio-forestry region of the Kanger Ghati National Park. It is formed by the Kanger River, which flows through the rocky terrains of the valley. Unlike the high vertical drops of other waterfalls in the region, Kanger Dhara is cha racterized by its horizontal spread and the way water cascades over a series of small rocky steps. The fall is approximately 30 feet high and is surrounded by a dense canopy of Sal and Teak trees. The geological formation here is fascinating, featuring various types of folding and joint patterns in the shale and limestone rocks. Because it is located inside a protected area, the environment is exceptionally clean and teeming with wildlife. It is often overshadowed by the nearby Tirathgarh Falls, which makes it a "quiet alternative" for those who want to avoid crowds. The sound of the water here is described as musical, blending with the calls of the Bastar Hill Myna. Visitors need to obtain permission from the forest check post to enter this zone, ensuring that the number of tourists is always regulated.
