Brihaspati Kund — Attraction in Madhya Pradesh

Brihaspati Kund, located in the Panna district of Madhya Pradesh, is a stunning natural wonder that combines geological intrigue with serene beauty. Often referred to as the “Niagara of Bundelkhand,” this deep crater-like gorge carved by natural erosion is a spectacular sight, especially during the monsoon season when the waterfall is in full flow. Surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush greenery, Brihaspati Kund offers a picturesque landscape that appeals to nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike. One of the most captivating aspects of Brihaspati Kund is its untouched charm. Unlike overly commercialized tourist spots, it retains a raw and rugged allure that makes the experience more authentic. The descent into the gorge can be challenging, involving a rocky trail and some steep steps, but the view at the bottom is absolutely worth the effort. The water pool at the base of the fall is tranquil and cool, offering a refreshing escape from the heat. There’s a legend associated with the place that adds to its mystique. It is believed that Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods in Hindu mythology, meditated here, giving the site both historical and spiritual significance. However, infrastructure and amenities around the site are minimal. Visitors should be prepared for basic facilities and are advised to carry food, water, and appropriate footwear. The best time to visit is between July and September, when the monsoon enhances the waterfall’s beauty. In summary, Brihaspati Kund is a hidden gem for those seeking natural beauty and a bit of adventure off the beaten path. With a mix of mythology, geology, and scenic charm, it offers a memorable experience, especially for those who appreciate raw landscapes and quiet getaways. Responsible tourism is key to preserving its...

Waterfall: 5 Star (Brihaspati Kund is one of the best waterfall to get wet within it) Govt facility: 0 Star Govt should provide safety equipment like life jackets, and build safety walls etc in the trek route to the waterfall location. And more importantly govt should develop the location as an eco-tourism destination. The govt should make the place a zero plastic zone and fit dustbins and other sanitation equipment for proper waste collection, segregation and disposal. Best time is end of monsoon season. I went in September, that's the best time I felt. Getting close up pictures of the waterfall is very dificult with mobile phones. The phone would definitely get completely wet and may also go dead even if the phone is kept within your bags, so make preparations for that before hand. The rock caves which we have to pass through to reach the waterfall have early humans rock paintings but mostly arroded or unidentefiable due to ignorance of people to not damage them and also lack of government protection for the ancient rock paintings. If they were well protected it would have been an added valuable attraction for the site. If you are the one who wants to be there with you and your friends enjoying the whole place alone in the nature with less people around, ensure you go to that place on week days and that too early mornings or in evenings 3-4 pm (not too late too, you might find difficult to reach back). In weekends there will be full of people (full means...

One of the beautiful places I have visited in this region. I went there in feb and at that time it was a wonderful experience of nature plus the scenic beauty is eye glittering. There are few kunds i.e small pond type structure believed to be ancient and sacred. There is saying about the kunds that if one has taken bath in these ponds, their sins will be purified(as per sayings). The best time to visit is in or after rainy season coz the no of falls there are max. The stairs to step down is too dangerous and have to be taken care of while stepping down. There is an ancient cave type structure in which shivaling is present. Overall my experience is damn thrilling and too fantastic. Be safe,...
