Jabalpur division

Jabalpur division is an administrative region in central Madhya Pradesh comprising eight districts: Balaghat, Chhindwara, Jabalpur, Katni, Mandla, Narsinghpur, Dindori, and Seoni. These districts span a large territory with varied landscapes and administrative structures under one divisional government.

The region was established as Jubbulpore Division under British rule in 1861. Over time, district boundaries shifted and new areas were added, shaping the current administrative structure.

Several tribal communities live across the region and maintain their customs. In Balaghat, visitors can see traditional art forms practiced by local artisans, while in Mandla, local festivals shape daily rhythms.

Explore the individual districts to get a full sense of the region, as each has its own character and attractions. Plan visits during cooler months when traveling between districts is more comfortable and outdoor activities are easier to enjoy.

The region contains striking marble rock formations at Bhedaghat that attract visitors for their natural beauty. Parts of Kanha National Park extend into this area, offering chances to see wildlife in their natural habitat.
