Madan Mahal is stands as testimony to the lives of the rulers who ruled Jabalpur for a good number of years in the 11th century AD. Situated at a hilltop, a couple of kilometres away from the city, Madan Mahal Fort was built by the Raja Madan Singh.

Balancing Rock is a natural wonder, Balancing Rocks are a set of seemingly delicately balanced eroded volcanic rock formations. Although they look precariously positioned, they have withstood earthquakes of magnitude up to 6.5 on the Richter scale. No wonder that the locals believe these rocks to be as invincible as they are incredible. One rock is balanced on a huge base rock and only touches it slightly. The point of contact between the two rocks is only 6 sq inches. It is believed that it is impossible to disturb the balance of this rock.

Gwari Ghat: Hindus  perform their cremation rites here as per  Garuda Purana . It is associated with Hindu  Puranas , also; due to the presence of Narmada Sidh Kund, near Uma Ghat, wherein renowned  Rishis  performed  Tapas (Indian religions) , and it is believed that people are cured of their ailments here. Maa Narmada Temple is also situated here, where Narmada  Aarti , is performed in the evenings.

Bhedaghat: Bhedaghat is famous for the high marble rocks making a valley through which river Narmada flows. The place also has a beautiful waterfall, known as  Dhuandhar Falls  (literally meaning a stream of smoke, because of its appearance)

Marble Rock:The Marble Rocks are a gorge along part of the  Narmada River ’s, creating a beautiful gorge of about 8 km in length. the gorge was narrow in size and hence, monkeys could cross over from one side to another. This gave the gorge its local name- Bandar Kudni (meaning monkeys' jumping place). The white marbles are predominantly rich in  magnesium  and are closer in hardness to  soapstone .

Dhuandhar Falls:The word 'Dhuandhar' is derived from two Hindi words -  Dhuan (smoke) and Dhar (flow), meaning a waterfall where one can feel a smoky atmosphere (this smoke is formed by water vapour or the smoke cascade). The Dhuandhar Falls is located on the  Narmada River and are 30 meters high. The Narmada River, making its way through the world-famous  Marble Rocks , narrows down and then plunges into a waterfall known as Dhuandhar.
