Tikariya Waterfall
Natural Splendor of Tikariya: Tikariya Waterfall is a seasonal natural marvel located in the rugged terrain of the Chitrakoot district. It is formed by a mountain stream that plunges over a rocky cliff during and after the monsoon season. Unlike the more famous falls, Tikariya offers a raw and untou ched experience of the Vindhya hills. The surrounding area is covered with dense forest, making it a favorite spot for local trekkers and nature enthusiasts who want to escape the temple crowds.
