Description:
Silver Fall, also known as Rajat Prapat, is a stunning waterfall cascading down a sheer cliff face near Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, India. The water plunges approximately 350 feet, creating a silvery stream that gives the fall its name. Surrounded by lush greenery and rocky terrain, the waterfall offers breathtaking views and a refreshing escape into nature. Visitors can trek to the base of the falls, enjoying the cool spray and the surrounding natural beauty. The area is ideal for photography and experiencing the tranquility of the Pachmarhi hills.
History:
Silver Fall is a natural waterfall formed by a stream descending from the plateau. Its prominence grew with the development of Pachmarhi as a hill station during the British Raj. While no specific historical events are directly tied to the waterfall itself, its inclusion in the local landscape contributed to Pachmarhi's growing popularity as a retreat from the summer heat. The name 'Rajat Prapat,' meaning 'Silver Fall' in Hindi, reflects the visual impression of the cascading water resembling a stream of silver.
