A captivating sight during monsoon, this waterfall looks breathtaking. Going further, get mesmerized to see Jahaz Mahal floating on 2 water bodies- Kapur and Munj Talao. It stands beautiful against the lush green grass. During monsoon, the water level reaches the edge of the monument thereby giving it a ship like appearance & hence the name Jahaz Mahal.
Don’t forget to visit Rani Roopmati Pavilion set at a vantage point. It commands a striking view of Narmada river which can be seen meandering through the plains like a streak of a thin silver lining. Enjoy the glory of a lush green landscape and the canopy of floating clouds from the Pavilion.
