Jashpur in Chhattisgarh is perfect for a leisurely weekend getaway. The tribals and splendid waterfalls are the main attraction of the place. Located on the western part of the state, the whole topography is divided into Upper and Lower Ghat. The upper ghat is ideal for trekking and hiking with hilly terrain and a whole zone of reserve forests. The lower ghat on the other hand abounds in grasslands and cascading waterfalls. The tribal villages with their own norms, tradition and lifestyle enchants tourist to no end. Their rhythmical dance is one of the major attractions of the place. The History of Jashpur is equally interesting.
The History of Jashpur records that the place was inhabited by Uraon tribals. These tribals moved here from Rohtasgarh and settled mainly in the jungle because it provided them ample opportunity for cultivation. After the entry of the missionary priests things changed. They adopted the Christian faith. In 1818 the princely state of Jashpur was taken over by the British Raj. According to a provisional agreement made with Madhoji Bhonsle the British gained accession over the territories of the place. Some of the erstwhile rulers of Jashpur were Raja Ranjit Singh, Pratap Narayan Singh, Raja Deo Saran Singh etc.
The tourist spots are as interesting as the History of Jashpur. You can perhaps take a leisurely stroll through the many waterfalls of the region. Rajpuri Waterfalls near Bagicha is a photographer’s haven. The rock cut Kailash cave is another spot worth visiting. A Tour to Jashpur is interesting in ways more than one.
