About Rajdari & Devdari Waterfalls
Two falls a short walk apart on the Chandraprabha river inside the sanctuary, on the Vindhyan plateau edge about 70 km from Varanasi. Rajdari drops around 65 metres in steps over red sandstone; Devdari, a little downstream, is a single plunge into a gorge, best seen from the rim. Both run from July to October and are a dribble by December. It is a picnic crowd on weekends, so go on a weekday, and stay well back from the wet rock at the lip.
What to see and do
- Rajdari falls in steps over sandstone
- Devdari plunge and gorge viewpoint
- Chandraprabha dam and reservoir above the falls
