Jabalpur Marble Rocks
Description :
At a distance of 40 kms from Jabalpur Airport, the nearest airport to Taj Mahua Kothi, these towering natural marvels at Bhedaghat - known as the Grand Canyon of India - are located along the banks of the river Narmada. The marble-like magnesium limestone rocks cast different colours - white, grey, pink and bluish-grey - in different lights and look especially beautiful in the moonlight. It is the only example of regional metamorphism within a short distance of 2 to 3 km, which is very rare worldwide. You can traverse the steep gorge on a cable car ride.
