Chikhaldara
is located in Amaravati district of
Vidarbha region. The only hill station
in the Vidarbha region offers you an
abundance of wildlife, viewpoints, lakes
and waterfalls. It is named after "Keechaka".
This is the place where Bheema killed
villainous Keechaka and threw him into
the valley. It thus came to be known
as "Keechakadara" - "Chikhaldara"
is its corruption.
Chikhaldara is the sole hill resort
in the Vidarbha region, situated at
an altitude of 1,118 m and has the added
distinction of being the only coffee-growing
area in Maharashtra. Chikhaldara is
full of deep valleys, and these valleys
are full of velvet mist and majestic
trees. All this makes it a very popular
summer retreat. With abundance of natural
scenery, exciting wildlife, breathtaking
waterfalls and a placid lake, the beauty
of Chikhaldara is overwhelming. The
climate is always breezy and walking
on the clouds often becomes a reality.
Here’s where thickly-wooded forests
meet the blueness of the hills, and
with the sun filtering through the trees,
could there be more beauty anywhere
else? |
