From Bhimalat Waterfall to Kishore Sagar, these magical spots of Hadoti will win your heart during the rains.

On hearing the name of Rajasthan, the picture of sandy shores and scorching heat often emerges in people’s mind, but with the arrival of monsoon, a part of this desert changes completely. We are talking about Hadoti region of Rajasthan (Kota, Bundi, Baran and Jhalawar), which is covered with greenery like Kashmir and Kerala in this season. If you are planning to visit some beautiful and peaceful place this monsoon, then Hadoti’s valleys, gurgling waterfalls and historical lakes are all set to make your trip very exciting and memorable. Bhimlat Waterfall: Amazing and scary beauty of nature. One of the biggest attractions of Hadoti is ‘Bhimlat Waterfall’ located in Bundi district. During monsoon days, when this waterfall falls from a height of about 150 feet, its echo is heard far and wide. The water flowing amidst the dense greenery and rocky rocks all around attracts the tourists. According to mythological beliefs, this waterfall was created by Bhima by kicking during the Mahabharata period. For nature lovers and photography enthusiasts, this place is no less than a paradise during monsoon. Kishore Sagar Lake and Jagmandir Palace: The real glory of Kota If you are going on Hadoti trip, then do not forget to see ‘Kishore Sagar Lake’ located in the heart of Kota city. The view of this lake becomes very beautiful during the light showers of monsoon. The historic ‘Jagmandir Palace’ built right in the middle of the lake appears to be floating on water. In the evening when cool winds blow and lighting is done, the reflection of the palace in the water is worth seeing. Here you can enjoy the beautiful evenings of monsoon while enjoying boating. Gaparnath and Garadia Mahadev: A unique confluence of adventure and faith. Chambal region of Hadoti is famous all over the world for its deep ravines and panoramic views. The ‘horse-shoe’ like winding view of the Chambal river from the ‘Garadia Mahadev’ temple situated near Kota looks very magical when the clouds cover the monsoon. Apart from this, ‘Gaparnath Waterfall’ and Mahadev Temple are also situated in a deep gorge, where during the rainy days, water seeps from the mountains and takes the form of a waterfall. However, it is very important to take special care of safety while visiting these places. How to reach and when to visit Hadoti: Hadoti region is well connected by road, rail and air. Kota is the main railway junction here, where trains come from all the big cities of the country. The nearest airport for air travel is Jaipur or Udaipur, from where you can easily reach Kota or Bundi via taxi or bus. The months from July to September are considered to be the best to visit here because during this time all the rivers, streams and waterfalls are in full spate and the weather is very pleasant.
