Splendours
In Isolation
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. |
