Bijawar-Panna Plateau

The Bijawar-Panna Plateau is a geological formation that spans across Panna and Chhatarpur districts in Madhya Pradesh, defined by three major escarpments at different elevations. The landscape features rocky terrain with dramatic cliff faces and gorges carved through the bedrock.

The plateau contains archaeological evidence of ancient settlements and trade routes that linked different regions of central India across millennia. Findings from excavations indicate human occupation dating back to early historical periods.

Local communities living around the plateau maintain traditional agricultural practices that have been adapted to the specific geological conditions of the region.

Winter months offer the best conditions for exploring this formation, with moderate temperatures and clear visibility across the landscape. The terrain is expansive and open, so proper preparation and local guidance help with navigation and safety.

The Ken River cuts through the plateau, carving a gorge approximately 60 kilometers long with depths ranging from 150 to 180 meters (500-600 feet). This river canyon features multiple waterfalls where water cascades over the rock walls.
