Chitrakut Waterfall, Chattisgarh, IndiaFALL IN LOVE WITH WATERFALLS OF INDIA
No other country in the world has so many awesome waterfalls, than India. India’s incredible diverse landscape of high rise Himalayas, long mountain ranges and tropical rain forests have created a wonder of great 300 waterfalls worth visiting mentioned in Wikipedia.
I'm sure you would be amazed with this travel information!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_waterfalls_in_IndiaIt’s not possible to cover all the waterfalls even in a lifetime, I think so, as we have to take care of our lives as well. These falls are rugged beauties, some with great heights and awesome force. Surrounded by either tropical forests or snow peaks these are not dressed up for marketing like
Niagara Falls or like the other waterfalls in Europe.
