Where the waterfall is wider than Niagara and nobody knows

India's rice bowl and tribal heartland — central state cleaved from Madhya Pradesh in 2000. Chitrakote Falls is the country's widest waterfall; Bastar's Dussehra runs 75 days, the longest in the world; Sirpur holds the 7th-century Lakshmana brick temple; Barnawapara is a tiger reserve. The Madia, Muria, Halba and Gond tribes hold long-standing forest claims. Maoist-affected pockets restrict free travel — check advisories. 3 destinations across the state.
