Actually the bus journey is meant for local sightseeing at Jabalpur. Before the journey flagship our YHAI Jabalpur unit chairman Mr. Sampad Basu told about the Jabalpur is an ancient and historical city of temples, pilgrims, marble rocks and enchanting waterfalls, which has referenced about the mythological epics of our legendary volume RAMAYANA. It was also the center point of Hayhaya dynasty and also the capital of Gond Kingdoms during the 12th century. Jabalpur also later ruled by the Kalchuri Kingdom. Still today most of unknown about the center points of India. Actually the centre point of india is situated at the Manohar gram near karondi at a approximately 63km distance from Jabalpur.

3rd day (27.10.2010 Wednesday) left Jabalpur and proceeds to Amarkantak via GHUGHWA national fossils park.


Actually the 3rd day journey is its self a Legendry trips for the all trekkers, because of its distance and our mostly time-pass through wayside carom, close-up Antaakhyariee (hosted by Sushma singh’& Kavya Bhatt, Mumbai) & boring Bhaangaraa’s on every two hrs bus journey. About 267km which was too bored to any one who’re inside the bus,while by car trip with Vishalji they also enjoyed a lot but one thing is the seating arrangements which are done by the management was truly innovative. During the bus trip before reached to at GHUGHWA national parks (which were scheduled to be the lunch point) our close-up Antaakhyari programme goes & goes on till we in touch up our night destination sonmura waterfall point at Amarkantak region. This place is the birth place of soon river which one flown-up via Chattisgarh, Bihar & West Bengal at last kissing up to River Ganga then finally at bay of Bengal.






4th day (28.10.2010 Thursday) the real trek starts from Sonmura (monkey bite) point to Mai kaa Mandap (handiee kundie) Waterfall.


The real adventurous trek of Jabalpur unit starts from today’s onward. While the Jabalpur trek is based on the sights seeing points of view, at that time this Amarkantak tour is based on the packs thrill, horror, journey through the waterfalls, dams, passes through the tribal villages, enjoys various types of jungle fruits, discovers & identifies a lots of herbal plants & spices, well close-ups through flora & fauna etc.4th days trek is based on 10km walks only via Amarkantak bio-diversity protected social forest up to the ecological troposphere cum nature trail route of Amarkantak forestry range division. As our trek schedule was designed to report by 3.30pm, but due to the most experienced participation of trekkers we completed this 10km trek just with in 3.20hr. We leave Sonmora waterfall point by 9.20am & reached at our scheduled destination (Maiee kaa Mandap) by 12.40pm. This early reporting was helps us to enjoys a lots of water fun at handiee kundiee waterfall.


5th day (Friday 29-10-2010) trek to Sambhu-dharaa via Amarkantak sightseeing


Truly treks a little & enjoys the nature’s too lot, this the themes of 5th day trek. After a sound pack lunch and colorant photographic sessions by the trekkers, all were goodbye to Maaiee kaa Mandap forever & entered of breath taking pleasant atmosphere of Anuppur social forestry mountain range via Mandrie peak. Before the lunch point (the ultimate Mahasnaan kund of Narmada) we try to covers most of adjoined places of interests like Pancharatna and other countless places of Amarkantak. After the lunch we finally overlapped the worlds heaviest statue of Mahaveer Jain’s Adinath Jain Mandir (which construction work under progress since 1992 to 2017). It also named in the books of world record.

6th days trek program from Shambhudhara to Kapildharaa (final and hard trek about 18km via 5 waterfalls).


Our last night camping destination is really unbelievable. After the Amarkantak sightseeing tour by trek-up mode then again we transferred up to protected forest area, where is our night camping had fixed.

This place is famous for its Eco-tourism and bio-diversity points of view. Most of jungle (wild) animals, birds even path finder’s were come here due to sources of water. Yes from here Eco-trails had developed. Which one passes through five waterfalls? Likely a) shambhudharraa b) laxmandhaarraa c) paanchdhaarraa d) doodh dhaarraa & finally e) kapildhaarraaa.
