Dhuandhar Waterfalls (Smoke Cascade)

Dhuandhar (meaning 'Smoke Cascade') is the most iconic waterfall in Central India. The vast, powerful Narmada narrows suddenly and plunges 30 meters over jagged marble bedrock. The force of the roaring torrent produces an eternal cloud of water spray that resembles thick white smoke, visible and audible from kilometers away. A scenic cable car ropeway crosses above the gorge.
