    What's the story

    Chhattisgarh is the perfect tourist spot for those who prefer quiet and less crowded places for their vacations.

    There are beautiful landscapes here, waterfalls, heritage temples, and ancient monuments.

    It is also called the "Rice Bowl of India" as rice grows here in abundance. The place has also preserved the rich tribal culture.

    Here are five offbeat places in Chhattisgarh waiting to be explored.

    Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary

    Covering an area of 245 square kilometers, the Barnawapara Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the northern part of the Mahasamund district in Chhattisgarh.

    It was established in 1976 and lies in a flat terrain area. The sanctuary houses bison, tigers, barking deer, antelopes, leopards, and python among other animals.

    The sanctuary remains closed during the monsoon season i.e. from July to October.

    Kanger Valley National Park

    One of the densest national parks in the country, the Kanger Valley National Park was built in 1982 and is surrounded by villages on all sides.

    The park got its name from the Kanger River and has been marked as one of the Asian Biosphere Reserves.
