Kawardha

The beautiful town of Kawardha is located in the district of Kabirdham in Chhattisgarh. It is the administrative headquarters of the district and is scenically located on the fringes of the Maikal hills, close to the Kanha National Park. This rustic tribal region has a rich cultural heritage, the Gond and Baiga tribes inhabit the isolated interiors and have a peaceful yet vibrant culture. Kawardha is blessed with natural bounty with dense forests, cascading waterfalls and meandering rivers have made this city a scenic wonder. Isolated, peaceful and verdant, the lush greenery and supporting bio-systems lend a picturesque view of the region. The city and suburbs are interspersed with ancient temples and monuments, some dating back to the 11^th century have been well preserved. The tiny tribal hamlets that fringe the city retail the old world charm and a stark contrast from modern developments within the city limits. With an impetus on eco-tourism with the help of the state government, a variety of boarding houses and hotels have increased.
