Day 15 - Visit to Bheda Ghat, Raisen as on 29-Nov-2018

Bheda Ghat  Major attraction is a waterfall known as Dhuandhar, which looks like smoke coming out of the river and therefore it got its name as "Dhuan(smoke)-dhar(flow of water)". Another major attraction is 'Bandar Kodini', when one travels in between the marble rocks in a boat, the mountains at both the sides at one point come so close that the monkeys are able to jump across them, hence the name "Bandar Kodini". 

Day 14 - Visit to Maihar Devi on 28-Nov-2018

Sharda Devi Maihar  is known for the Maa Sharda devi temple(around of 502 A.D.), set at the highest of Trikoota. There are 1063 steps to reach the top of the hill. But one can take vehicle and circle up the hill. View from the view is very scenic and one can see Maihar City and ranges of Satpura. The name Maihar is created from the conjunction of 2 words 'Mai'(Mother)+ 'Har'(Necklace).  It is also one of the 51 Shakti Peeths of goddess Parvati.

It takes about 2 hours to see this place and spend say about an hour in the temple. Very religious place and came as additional bonus as we had not planned to visit this but could take call last moment and visited this place afater visiting Bheda Ghat and our way towards Sanchi-Ujjain-Indore.
