On the upper reaches of the River Narmada in the heart of India's forested belt, Jabalpur is remarkably little visited. It serves as the main gateway to two of India's finest wildlife reserves, Kanha and Bandhavgarh.
Madan Mahal Fort
Built by the Gond ruler, Raja Madan Shah, in 1116 atop a rocky hill, the fort dominates the skyline and provides a panoramic view of the town and the countryside around it.
Rani Durgavati Memorial and Museum
Dedicated to the memory of the great Queen Durgavati, this memorial and museum houses a fine collection of sculptures, inscriptions and prehistoric relics.
Marble Rocks
The Marble Rocks are 22 km west of Jabalpur. These white rocks rise to 30m on either side of the Narmada River and in moonlight produce a magical effect.
