India - Madhya Pradesh - Bhedaghat-Lametaghat in Narmada Valley

Bhedaghat, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of India, is a town in the Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh (India), around 25 kms from Jabalpur. One can experience the outstanding beauty of marble rocks and their various morphological glittering forms on either side of the graceful Narmada river which flows through the gorge. It has also been observed that the magical marble mountains assume different colours and even shapes of animals and other living forms as one moves through them.

Several dinosaur fossils have been found in the Narmada valley particularly in Bhedaghat-Lametghat area of Jabalpur. In 1828 the first Dinosaur fossil was collected from Lameta Bed by William Sleeman (Matthew T. et.al., 2010)
