Raneh Falls

Raneh Falls, Natural waterfall in Chhatarpur district, India

Raneh Falls is a waterfall in Chhatarpur district where the Ken River cascades over granite formations in multiple drops, flowing through rock layers in shades of pink and gray. The canyon displays five distinct granite colors within its walls—pink, red, gray, brown, and black—which create its striking appearance.

The Ken River has cut a canyon about 5 km long and 30 m deep through crystalline granite in the Chhatarpur district, and the falls drop within this gorge. The rock walls show granite in shades from pink and red to grey, with dolomite also present in the igneous rock of the narrow gorge. In May 2017 the falls received the country's "Best Holiday Award" as a favourite waterfall.

The falls lie in Chhatarpur district, about 20 km from Khajuraho, and in May 2017 they received the country's "Best Holiday Award" as a favourite waterfall. Downstream, at the meeting of the Ken and Khudar rivers, the Ken Gharial Sanctuary protects gharials, the fish-eating crocodiles visitors may spot on the river.

The best time to visit is between October and March, when the falls are easiest to reach and conditions are most pleasant. Direct buses run from Khajuraho to the entrance, making it straightforward to get there.

The Ken River drops through a canyon of pure crystalline granite, and the rock walls change shade from pink and red to grey along the gorge. The falls lie about 20 km from Khajuraho, and the Ken Gharial Sanctuary sits at the confluence of the Ken and Khudar rivers downstream.
