Destination of Jashpur of State CG

Jashpur is home to the Oraon tribe, many of whom have converted to Christianity.
Kotebira Eb river
A very pleasant river with attractive scenery, a rocky spot and the end point of a range of hills. According to a local legend, God came here and liked it so much he decided to build a dam to add to the beauty. He was unable to complete the work and left it halfway, and that is why the rock looks like the wall of a dam. Every year a mela (fair) is organised here.
Rajpuri Waterfall
An attractive waterfall and popular picnic spot.
Kailash Gupha
Springs and fountains add to the beauty of this rock cut cave. Nearby is the Samarbar Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, just the second Sanskrit school in India.
Danpuri Waterfall
This picturesque waterfall is in the middle of the forest.
Rani Dah Waterfall
A popular picnic spot, situated amidst hilly forests.
Kunkuri Cathedral
About 40 km from Jashpur, this is Asia's second largest Catholic church. It was 15 years in the making, and when completed (in 1968), it was Asia's largest church, with a seating capacity of 5,000. The church is embellished with seven arcades in the shape of arch and seven sacraments symbols made of angle iron. A beautiful shrine, dedicated to Mother Mary, can be seen in front of the cathedral building.
