Geography & terrain

Keshkal lies in the Kondagaon district of Chhattisgarh, 110 km from Raipur and 130 km from Jagdalpur — the valley town of the region's middle, its hill views, the waterfalls and the tribal villages set on the ghat's descent.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the region's tribal life and the ghat road — the settlement of the Keshkal valley on the Raipur–Jagdalpur route, with the town's history of the tribal hamlets of the Koya and the Halba peoples and the old ghat road of the British era; the town's modern role as the offbeat stop of the region, with the valley drives and the falls beyond, gives Keshkal its valley-town character.
