The Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat form one of only three river-carved gorges in the world cut entirely through pure marble ranking alongside Taroko Gorge in Taiwan and Trigrad Gorge in Bulgaria. Stretching approximately 8 km along the Narmada River, the gorge’s high marble cliffs were slowly shaped over millions of years by the flowing river.
