Google map location is wrong please search with “Gupt Godavari Pond” for correct location. Its a holy place and origin of Godavari river. Up in the caves there are lot small temples and on every temple pandas are asking a mandatory donation/Dakshina of 100₹. Please be aware of those its not worth. Otherwise this place is pretty good.

Never expected such beautiful place it would turn out to be. So there are 2 zones here first gufa is extremely narrow and steep stairs going down which might trigger claustrophobic people like me. But after getting clarity from sevaks there we went inside though it was quite smelly due to no ventilation but it is an experience in itself. Once you get down the stairs the area is sufficiently big. Many temples inside specially a tall shivling. Do see the texture of cave it is awesome. Next is the second gufa which is actually the gupt godavri udgam sthal. If you have sensitive foot you will kot be able to pass the trail as it is full of small sharp stones with ankle height water which reaches to your knees at some place. But once again i will recommend visiting this place because it is beautiful from inside. The smoothened rocks are a sight to behold. Personal suggestion please keep sufficient 10/20 rs notes as you will be bothered by pandas all across so in place of searching for smaller notes keep them handy and keep giving untill you are finished 🙂

Amazing experience. Must recommended not comes to this place respiratory patients. Best Experience comes to Mansoon seasons If you come with children and old people then take extra care of them.

Gupt Godavari, Chitrakoot (M.P) "Located at the origin of the River Godavari, this site features a cave where the river begins as small streams. The cave contains a significant amount of water, so visitors are advised to exercise caution. Due to high humidity levels, it's not recommended for toddlers. Additionally, be extremely vigilant with your belongings, as *pickpocketing* is common both inside and outside the cave." Administration is not supportable at all. Security is poor on regular days.

Not for old age person feel heat inside ,adventure , buy some cold water before going inside my personal advice

Sacred place for Hindus. Not recommended for elderly with breathing, knee problem as confined one way place. Bit little mis management by authorities.

This place is associated with Ramayan wherein Maa Godavari came here to visit Lord Rama during his stay in Chitrakoot. It is said that the origin of Godavari river is in Nashik, Maharashtra and river flows towards southeast direction all the way to Bay of Bengal; but in Chitrakoot the presence of Godavari river is available and river goes underground here.

Best holy place to visit in chitrakoot , so divine , Mandakini river is dirty but still faith makes you dive in ,not much of service available there but good to go in early morning.

🌊 Ram Ghat, Chitrakoot – Where Divinity Touches Earth --- 🕉️ Mythological Importance Ram Ghat is one of the most sacred places in Chitrakoot, where Lord Ram, Sita, and Lakshman spent part of their exile. It is said to be the very place where Lord Ram appeared before Saint Tulsidas, one of the greatest poets and devotees in Hinduism. This meeting is one of the most spiritually powerful legends of Chitrakoot, where Tulsidas finally had darshan of his beloved Ram — a moment that changed the course of devotional literature forever. --- 🙏 Chaupai – Where Ram Ji Met Tulsidas > "चीर पहरेउ देखि तुलसी तोता, राम लखन बोले तिन्ह कर मोता।" Tulsidas recognized that the parrots (tota) he saw were actually Ram and Lakshman in disguise, a leela through which Lord Ram revealed himself. --- 📜 Hanuman Ji’s Chaupai Praising Ram Ghat > "चित्रकूट के घाट पर, भइ संतन की भीर। तुलसीदास चन्दन घिसें, तिलक देत रघुबीर॥" This verse describes the sacred scene at Ram Ghat — where saints gather, Tulsidas prepares sandal paste, and Lord Ram himself accepts the tilak. --- 🛶 Spiritual Calm with a Boat Ride A serene boat ride on the Mandakini River is an unmissable experience. As you float along the river, surrounded by ghats and temples, the air echoes with chants and bells — deeply peaceful and meditative. --- 🔥 Evening Ganga Aarti – A Divine Spectacle The Ganga Aarti at Ram Ghat is a spiritual highlight. Devotees light lamps, chant mantras, and offer prayers as the river glows in golden light. Aarti here isn’t just seen — it’s felt in the soul. --- 🌟 Final Words Ram Ghat isn’t just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel. With its mythological depth, divine atmosphere, and peaceful riverbank views, it offers a true journey into the heart of devotion.

Beautiful places ☺️.You all should come here once.

Nice place , use ropeway 120 rs each for both side, Sita rasoi has 100 steps of stairs straight, be careful with priests they ask for dakshina. Even cabs charges 100 rs for the hanuman dhar one side.

The very first time I visited Hanuman Dhara in Chitrakoot, I was exhausted. The climb had drained me, the sun was sharp, and I was desperately looking for bottled water because I never drink anything but packed mineral water when I travel. We halted at a tiny tent where two little sisters were frying samosas. The aroma was too good to resist, so we sat down. The samosas were small, crispy, and filled with that familiar Uttar Pradesh magic. After eating two, I asked the younger girl for water. She ran to a corner, lifted a bucket and it was empty. Seeing my face, she said softly, “Bhaiya, wait two minutes, I’ll run and get fresh water for you.” I had already given up hope. In that heat, any water be it from a well or a handpump would do. A few minutes later, she came back, carrying a bucket full of clear, cool water. I told my friends, “Let’s just sip a little and we’ll buy bottled water later.” But the moment I took the first sip… I couldn’t stop. It was perfectly cool,not icy, just divine. It didn’t taste like local water. It was better than Bisleri. We all asked her where she got it from. She smiled and said, “From the Dhara just a few steps down. You can drink as much as you want.” That’s when it struck us: we had visited the temple earlier, yet somehow missed the spring itself. We quickly paid for the samosas and rushed back down. There, flowing from the mountain, was the same crystal clear stream the Hanuman Dhara the very water Lord Rama is said to have created to cool Hanuman after burning Lanka. We drank again, this time with reverence. Around us, people were filling empty gallons being sold at the shops nearby. Suddenly it all made sense—this was not just water, it was amrit flowing from the heart of the hill. We filled a gallon, took it home, and made everyone taste it. No one believed it came from Chitrakoot. Some said “Mumbai water,” others guessed “Bisleri.” When I told them the story, they were speechless. I’ve visited Hanuman Dhara four times since thenand even as I write this, I’m returning home from there again. Every visit reminds me that sometimes, faith doesn’t find you in a temple it finds you in a sip of water offered by a child with a pure heart. 💧🙏
