Field Of Dreams

The blanket of greenery that covers chhattisgarh, will, like a long, cool drink of water, refresh the traveler tired of traffic jams and high rises. With 44 percent of the state under forest cover, punctuated by some of the highest, most turbulent water falls in the country, and a reservoir of mineral wealth, chhattisgarh, created only four years ago, glows both with economical potential and as a tourist destination. Its numerous wild life sanctuaries and national parks, of which the kanger valley is the most famous, boast a stunning variety of birds and animals. This park, with its immense limestone caves and a gently meandering river that ends in an unexpected, frothy plunge-the tirathgarh falls-is among the most isolated, serene locations in the country. Chhattisgarh has long been known for the vibrant culture of its people, and while it is harder to get in touch with these traditional communities, the government’s efforts to promote local arts have ensured that visitors are able to get more than a taste of its dynamic culture. With much to be explored and experienced both culturally and geographically, the state has a freshness and intrigue that few destinations can claim.
