Chhattisgarh Tour Package: 5 Days of Culture, Waterfalls & Heritage

Upon your arrival at Raipur Airport/Railway Station, you will be greeted by our representative/driver. Next, proceed for the scenic drive to the heritage village of Sirpur, which is an ancient archaeological and spiritual hub with Buddhist heritage. Upon arrival in Sirpur, check-in into your hotel and relax for a while for a comfortable stay.

Earlier known as Shripur, the tiny village was a scholarly center of Buddhism in the 6th and 10th centuries. Rich in culture and history, Sirpur boasted over 100 Hindu temples and 100 Buddhist viharas previously.

Current digs have brought to light a treasure of ancient marvels like beautiful sculptures, temple remains, pottery, coins, and remnants of an unbelievably organized bazaar.

Begin your exploration by a visit to the Anand Prabhu Kudi Vihar, the largest Buddhist monastery to be discovered here.

The pièce de résistance is a peaceful six-foot statue of Lord Buddha in earth-touching posture, signifying religious prosperity of the location. Visit the Swastik Vihar, an excavated mound which is supposed to have been utilized for Buddhist studies and meditation. The peaceful surroundings and architectural charm take one back in time.

As per Chinese scholar Hiuen Tsang's travel accounts, Sirpur attracted thousands of students from across Asia to study Buddhism. The village retains the same scholarly glow and ancient wisdom which attracted the scholars centuries ago and is a place that history enthusiasts and spiritual seekers cannot afford to miss.

Relax peacefully in the late afternoon in your own way, enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the once spiritually great town, before retiring to bed.

After breakfast in the morning shortly after sunrise, continue your checkout from your Sirpur hotel and set off on your breathtaking drive to Chitrakote, India's grand and breathtaking waterfall. The long but well worth it drive is dotted with pieces of virgin natural beauty of Chhattisgarh alternating with emerald green villages, serene villages, and a setting of unspoiled serenity.

You may halt along the way at any roadside tea stall or secluded picnic area, happily enjoying rural vistas and rolling greenery unspooling before your very eyes. In the territory of Bastar region, however, the landscape extends to include dense forest and tribal villages, providing a glimpse of the state's rich cultural heritage.

Traveling via Jagdalpur, you get a glimpse of the area's rich tribal culture, vibrant handicrafts, and closeness to wildlife-infested areas—a teaser to the things that will follow in your travels.

Upon arrival in Chitrkote, you can enjoy an overnight stay in your nature resort. The rest of the evening is yours.

Either you can silently stroll within the resort campus by yourself or you can simply be and enjoy being in the peaceful surroundings as the faraway buzz of the waterfall resonates in the woody terrain.

Relax and prepare for a night's sleep while you overnight stay amidst one of the beautiful nature landscapes of Chhattisgarh, waiting anxiously for the day's excursion to the fabled Chitrakote Falls.

Begin your day with a warm and tasty breakfast at the resort and prepare for a busy day of discovery of Bastar's natural and cultural heritage.

Start your sightseeing tour by visiting the Kanger Valley National Park, the best virgin forest reserve of India. As varied in plant and animal life, as exciting in terrain, and as oxygenated as the park is, it is marked by some wildness, foliage, and wildlife. Amongst its most sought-after landmarks is its beautiful limestone caves, i.e., the Kutumsar and Kailash Caves, renowned for their hundreds of years-old stalactites and stalagmites.

Next, go to Tiratgarh Waterfalls, a quiet picnic spot between trees. Enjoy a peaceful lunch in midst of falling water and leaves. A family-friends photo shoot as memory catch. Excellent.

Afternoon: Visit the breathtaking Chitrakote Falls, highlight of the day and affectionately called the "Niagara Falls of India." Gasp in admiration at the gigantic, roaring waterfall as it plunges viciously into the Indravati River. Take picturesque photographs, feel the spray and the mist, and soak in the majesty of nature in all its glory.

Break journey at Jagdalpur at the Anthropological Museum, with intriguing moments of the indigenous Bastar tribes' lifestyle, traditions, implements, and clothing. A glimpse into the rich lifestyle and medieval customs of the land.

Afternoon is free to go on your own to Jagdalpur local bazaars for shopping some nice terracotta handicraft and tribal products. Evening, come back to the hotel, have a full dinner, and retire to bed.

After a typical breakfast at your hotel in Jagdalpur, you will check out and begin your return journey to Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh state. It is likely about a 6-hour beautiful drive, with a vivid spectrum of forests and villages, and some chance to see local life—your last opportunity to view the unspoiled beauty of the area.

Upon reaching Raipur you may either have the hotel drop and check in for your overnight stay or simply be dropped at your hotel to check in for your overnight stay next evening. The remaining evening is at leisure to relax.

You may choose to stay at the hotel or perhaps do a short excursion to get a view of the surrounding local markets or enjoy some local Chhattisgarhi food. This leisurely evening is provided as an ideal form of self-reflection into the remarkable experience of celebrating the region's cultural identity, the richness of the cultural heritage, as well as the bountiful nature and spiritual energies of Chhattisgarh.

Overnight accommodation in Raipur with prior arrangements for leaving the following day.

As your unforgettable Chhattisgarh tour is about to conclude, unwind in a relaxed morning and finally check out from your Raipur hotel. Our representative will help you with your transfer to the railway station or airport for your onward journey.

Whatever was the ancient magic of Sirpur, the royal splendor of Chitrakote Falls, the tribal success of Jagdalpur, or the thriving vibrancy of Raipur—do hope the memories of this journey remain with you always. May the breathtaking landscape, new culture, and serenely blissful atmosphere still inspire and enliven you.

Safe and enjoyable travels back to your place of residence. We would be pleased to welcome you back on alxtrip to experience more life-long memories.
