Overview of Bhedaghat Marble Rocks, Jabalpur
Located 25 km from Jabalpur, the Bhedaghat Marble Rocks are a stunning natural marvel that draws tourists from around the world. These towering marble cliffs, standing up to 100 feet high and stretching over 25 km, line the Narmada River and create an awe-inspiring landscape. The sheer size and beauty of the rocks are enough to captivate visitors, but the real magic happens when sunlight hits the marble, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow on the river’s surface.
The marbles come alive at different times of the day, reflecting a variety of colors under different lighting conditions, and are especially enchanting during the full moon, when they glow eerily in the moonlight. This natural phenomenon makes Bhedaghat one of the most unique and beautiful destinations in India.
