Dhuandhar is a beautiful waterfall on Narmada river at Bhedaghat village of Madhya Pradesh. It is just 25 kms west of Jabalpur city and very well connected by road. Here holy Narmada river cascades through ancient rocks due to which a waterfall forms. Due to narrow passage, river flows with high speed. When flowing river water falls on rocky surface, from a considerable height, it form a fog of water crystals due to which its name was given Dhuandhar fall in which "Dhuan" means fog and "dhar" means flow of water. It is open for tourists, throughout the year. Best time to visit Dhuandhar fall is from October to April month when crystal clear water flows through rocks and gives a photogenic view.
