Whenever we talk about Bhedaghat then two popular things that first comes into our mind are its white marble rocks valley and traversing the valley by boat. If we study the history of this region, we will notice through British India records that even British officers, posted in Jubbulpore, use to visit this destinaton and do the boatride. Earlier boating point was different called old-ghat or purana-ghat. At present, new boating point has been named as Panchvati ghat or Panchwati ghat. It is a popular sightseeing point for tourists in Bhedaghat village area. For doing boaride in Narmada river, to explore and photograph marble rocks valley, we must visit Panchvati ghat point and undertake our boatride. Here we have to keep in mind that boating season is usually from 16October to 15June. We can do boating in between these dates only. Due to monsoon season, river flow is fast, when passes through marble rock valley thus unsafe for tourists. This is the main reason why boating remain closed in monsoon period.
