01 — The story

Rajat Prapat is a waterfall at Pachmarhi, the Satpura hill station often called its queen, in Madhya Pradesh. It is a horsetail fall, with water sliding down a single drop of about 107 metres, which places it among the tallest waterfalls in India.

The name means silver fall, from the Hindi rajat for silver and prapat for falls, because the stream glints like silver when the sun catches it. Reaching it involves a walk of about ten minutes over rocks and boulders from Apsara Vihar, another of Pachmarhi's beauty spots.
