Mandla town is picturesquely situated in a loop of the Narmada River, which surrounds it on three sides, and for 15 miles between Mandla and Namnagar the river flows in a deep bed unbroken by rocks.

The Narmada is worshipped here, and many beautiful ghats have been constructed on the banks of the river.

The town was a capital of the Gondwana dynasty who built a palace and a fort, which in the absence of proper care have gone to ruins.

Best time to Visit
