Indravati River

Indravati River

The Indravati River is a tributary of the Godavari River, located in central India. The river rises in the Eastern Ghats in Orisa, and flows west to join the Godavari, forming the boundary between Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh states at places.

Overview

The famous 'Chitrakoot' falls is located on Indravati River, some 40 km from Jagdalpur(Chhattisgarh).

The Indravati is sometimes known as the "lifeline" of the Bastar District, one of the most green districts in India. There is a wildlife sanctuary on its bank.

Most of the River Course is through dense forests of Bastar.
