Chachai Falls, Waterfall system in Rewa District, India
Chachai Falls is a waterfall system in Rewa District fed by the Bihad River, with multiple tiers descending through forested slopes. The water tumbles down a series of cascading drops as it flows from higher elevations toward the plateau below.
The waterfall formed through the Bihad River's erosion of the Rewa Plateau over geological time. The location marks where the river transitioned to a lower elevation through a pronounced drop.
The falls hold importance for local communities near the Chitrakoot Hills, where traditional ceremonies take place throughout the year.
The best time to visit is between August and February when water flow is most robust after seasonal rains. The trek involves walking through forested terrain, so wear sturdy shoes and bring water for the journey.
At the location of the falls, the Bihad River reaches a sudden break where it drops steeply, a rare geological feature known as a nick point. This kind of rupture in the river's slope usually develops where rock layers resist erosion differently.
