Chhattisgarh, with its stunning wildlife sanctuaries and waterfalls, a fascinating tribal culture and handicrafts tradition, is gradually creating a niche for itself in the tourism map of India. Experience Chhattisgarh: On the Road takes one on a road trip to some of the state’s most fascinating destinations and captures the local flavour of the state. The drives are from four nodal points: Raipur, Bilaspur, Ambikapur and Jagdalpur-Bastar. These bustling cities have ample accommodation facilities from where you can explore the destinations around in a day or slightly longer trips. There is an additional drive, to the northern-most corner of the state, Jashpur (from Ambikapur). Besides the fabulous jungles, excavations, caves featuring wondrously-shaped speleothems and pilgrimage hotspots that Chhattisgarh is known for, this guidebook takes you to the little-seen Dipadih in the north, the unsung temples of Barsoor in the south, a little-known megalithic burial site – and a visit to a Dokra artist’s house as well as to the haats or rural, local markets.
