Chitrakote Falls
About Chitrakote Falls In Chhattisgarh
The Chitrakote Falls (also spelled Chitrakote, Chitrakot, and Chitrakoot; Hindi: चित्रकोट जलप्रपात) is a natural waterfall on the Indrvati River, located approximately 38 kilometers (24 mi) to the west of Jagdalpur, in Bastar district in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. The height of the falls is about 29 meters (95 ft). It is the widest fall in India, reaching a width of nearly 300 meters (980 ft) during the monsoon season. Because of its width and its widespread horseshoe shape during the monsoon season.
It is often called the “Niagara Falls of India”.
Just from the lush green cover of the forest to the presence of mystic caves, Jagdalpur is surprisingly filled to the brim with places that are of interest to travelers.
The best part is, the destination is relatively unexplored right now and offers travelers a very unique chance of exploring an offbeat destination
While Chhattisgarh may have a bad rep when it comes to safety (for women and generally) while traveling, Jagdalpur is a serene and peaceful town that is perfectly safe for visitors, including women.
While it may look tempting, swimming at Chitrakoot waterfalls is extremely dangerous and thus, prohibited.
Tourism , Chitrakote Falls In Chhattisgarh
Since tourism is a freshly growing industry, Chitrakoot is currently facing a scarcity of restaurants that serve decent food.
There have also been reports of shops near the falls selling expired goods such as biscuits and wafers. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to carry your own food and water when you visit Chitrakoot Falls.
Best Time to Visit Chitrakote Falls In Chhattisgarh
The later months of monsoon (September and October) are best suited for exploring Jagdalpur. At this time, the weather is pleasant and thanks to the recently passed monsoon showers, the waterfalls in the area are flowing in all their glory. Keep in mind that this is the peak season of visiting the area and thanks to the combination of high tourist footfall and underdeveloped tourism infrastructure, finding decent accommodation may turn out to be a challenge.
Chitrakote Falls In Chhattisgarh Is Safe For Travel
However, the Naxalite activities—mostly limited to the border areas of the state—often deter travelers from visiting areas like Bastar. … With the exception of a few incidents, Bastar is no more perilous than other places. Raipur and Jagdalpur are as safe as any other Indian city.

Today I would like to share a blog on a very famous cafe Caltex late 1980’s era the cantonment town of Meerut that has lost its identity in this modernization and developing India, even though still today this cafe serves 200 types of omelet and hot coffee, service to their customer.
About Caltex Omelet Meerut
Mr. Agarwal’s bustling little café poised on Hill Street was just the right place for a casual stopover. He bought an icebox and started serving cold drinks and coffee to the travelers and vacationers who drove past his outlet in their Ambassadors, Fiats, and Impalas on the Delhi-Dehradun highway.
Those were pre-bypass days. Anyone heading towards the hill stations like Mussoorie or driving towards other small towns of west Uttar Pradesh such as Moradabad or Roorkee had to drive through the historic cantonment town of Meerut.
Famous Caltex Restaurant Clients where were Film Star / Director/ Musician / Politician
Sometimes the stars of Bollywood, probably on a holiday or a shooting schedule, would saunter in. Yash Chopra, Feroz Khan, Johnny Walker, Bappi Lahiri, Rameshwari, Tuntun, Tom Alter – they all came.
So did the politicians (Rajeev Gandhi) and the poet (Shahryar). In those pre-selfie times, they wrote cute, serendipitous notes of appreciation of the time spent there. Saira Bano commented, “It was a boon to travelers.” Dharmendra’s note said, “I enjoyed a very delicious cup of coffee.” “Nice coffee,” re-affirmed note Randhir Kapoor.
OP Nayyar, one of the finest music directors in the history of Hindi cinema, said, “It was nice to have ice-cream in the sweltering heat.”The stars sipped the coffee and slurped on the ice-cream. But it was the omelets that gave the eatery.
How the Owner Got Their Restaurant Name Caltex?
Its name and identity. It was called, Caltex, whose name was borrowed from the adjacent petrol pump of what was then a US-owned company.
‘Caltex is long gone from India and now in its place stands an HP petrol outlet. But the restaurant continues to carry the same old name – the funny-sounding, Caltex of Omelette Fame, to be precise.
USP Of The Caltex Restaurant
At Caltex, you get 12 kinds of omelets; including masala (Rs 60), butter (Rs 70), stuffed (Rs 70), pizza (Rs 100), cheese chicken (Rs 120), and Caltex special (Rs 150). You can also go for sandwiches, rolls, burgers, and chowmein. Among the beverages, the cold coffee served in their own bottles for Rs 30 has always been popular.
How The Caltex Restaurant Meerut Lost His Fame?
Caltex, which enjoyed huge popularity till the 1980s, lost its traveling clientele after the Meerut bypass came up over a decade ago. “Now we get local customers only,” says Sharukh. It isn’t easy to spot the restaurant, located right opposite the huge Begum Bridge bus stand
Conclusion
Even though Caltex highway cafe lost its fame. But still, Meerut local people visit this cafe in search of tasty omelet and good coffee you will not find in any other place.
