Overview

The "Shimla of Chhattisgarh" and a little Tibet - a Surguja plateau with a Tibetan refugee settlement and monastery, the Tiger Point falls, the bizarre "Ulta Pani" where water seems to flow uphill, and pine-covered quiet.

The DIY deep-dive

DIY route options

The classic route Base around Mainpat and run the standard 2-day plan - the easiest, most dependable version of the trip.
Quick trip or slow stay Squeeze it into a weekend, or give Mainpat an extra day or two - slowing down is the whole point of an offbeat place like this.

What most travellers miss

  • Stay in a local homestay over a hotel - it is the real draw here, and proper hotels are few.
  • Visit in October to March - outside that window, heat or crowds make it far less pleasant.
  • Group your sightseeing by area so you are not criss-crossing the city all day.
  • Keep one meal slot for the local food - the bazaars and street eats are half the experience.

Where to base yourself

Mainpat The main base - most stays, food and transport, and the easiest to reach.
