Balancing Rocks, Jabalpur

2.3
#3 of 6 in Parks in Jabalpur
Geologic Formation Landmark
Marvel at Balancing Rocks on a top of a rocky hill, a famous tourist spot near the base of a historic fort. See an eroded volcanic rock balancing on a huge boulder and enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient Jabalpur town and the surrounding countryside. Looking like a giant potato under a tree and amidst peculiar rock formations, the rock balanced through an earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale in 1997 so it is safe. Located on a narrow road on a way to the temple and surrounded by picturesque low, rocky and barren hillocks, the site provides a good and relatively quick photo opportunity. Arrange to visit Balancing Rocks and other attractions in Jabalpur using our Jabalpur itinerary planner.

    The balancing rock is not as large as the one at Mahabalipuram but amazing none the less. Worth a stop over. It is on the way to the Fort anyway so one doesn't have to make a special trip for this one...  more »
