The Narmada rises in the Amarkantak hills in Madhya Pradesh, which flows towards the west in a rift valley formed due to faulting. On its way to sea, the Narmada creates many picturesque locations. The ‘Marble rocks’ near Jabalpur where the Narmada flows through a deep gorge, and the ‘Dhuadhar falls’ where the river plunges over steep rocks. The tributaries of the Narmada are very short and most of these join the main stream at right angles. It covers parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
