Chachai Falls

About

Chachai Falls is in Rewa district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is the 23rd highest waterfall in India.

The Chachai Falls is on the Bihad River, a tributary of Tamsa or Tons River as it comes down from the Rewa Plateau. It has a total height of 130 metres (430 ft). Chachai Falls is an example of a nick point caused by rejuvenation. Knick point, also called a nick point or simply nick, represents breaks in slopes in the longitudinal profile of a river caused by rejuvenation. The break in channel gradient allows water to fall vertically giving rise to a waterfall.

It is situated 46 kilometres (29 mi) from Rewa, at the edge of the Chitrakoot Hills, which are part of the Kaimur Range. The rail accessibility is from Semaria, at a distance of 10 kilometers from Chachai. These falls can easily be reached either from Rewa or Satna.
