The location is good for a picnic in afternoon with the forest rest house there. Aboid late evenings as the area is not very safe.

Do not expect too many shops and facilities around but the fall is very good and huge. Must see.About 70 kms from varanasi ,raajdari devdari is one of the best picnic spot to be visited. Natural waterfalls and water flowing between the rocks looks awesome . One can spend whole day and enjoy here. Best time to visit is july-August .

Very cool and calm place for picnic with family and friends. This place is natural beauty, far from city life, since it's forest reserve area there is no human settlements around except forest department guest house and dhaba. I didn't felt unsecured with family. Will love to visit again. Very well maintained road to visit this place. It took 1.5 hrs by car from ramnagar varanasi.

It is well endowed with beautiful picnic spots, dense forests, and scenic waterfalls like Rajdari and Devdari that attract tourists every year to its vicinity.

The area was made a hunting preserve for the rulers of Benares in the second half of the 18th century. The wildlife sanctuary was established in May 1957. Asiatic lions were introduced at Chandra Prabha in 1958. The exercise was successful in the beginning, with the number of lions increasing from three to eleven by 1969. However, the following year the lions were found missing. The plan was again revived in 1993 although the Indian Government is yet to take a decision in this regard.

Rs. 50 will be charge per head and parking fees depend on your vehicle type, don't forget to see Chandra prabha Dam . Paisa vasool

When the rain is on then go there.
At that time this place is enjoyful.

Nice place visit in morning and give whole day

The Chandra Prabha Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as Chandraprabha, is situated in Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh

Awesome to visit, must for those who study at BHU.

I wish district administration opens their eyes to Understand the importance of this beautiful place What you will see over here is people drinking alcohol and spoiling the scenic beauty of this place there are no restrictions .If you go with your family it doesn't look nice when teenagers and adults drink openly making food,meat and littering all over the place.

You must be wondering why I have still given 5 stars because this is my happy place I generally go to chandraprabha to ease my stress. If you are coming to Varanasi make sure you visit this place . There are three waterfalls over here .

Jaago district administration.

Nature
Grand, impressive; displaying impressive beauty.

What a great sight!!! Bole to wow
But lack of management ☹

Situated in its own Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh, Chand Prabha Falls is a wonderful sight in itself. Many tourists come here to spend a family time with their family and friends and have a lot of fun. The waterfall here is amazing. The sound of water falling from the Jhar Jhar waterfall is very sweet and intoxicating. you guys also come it's a very cool place ..

Its a great and now developed place for the weekend picnic for people of VARANASI, PRAYAGRAJ, MIRZAPUR. Here two Waterfalls called RAJDARI & DEODARI are tourist attraction centre here in CHANDRAPRABHA Santuary. You can have candle light dinner in the forest and feel the romace. You can also feel the wonders of havinf lunch in green and lush forest. Its like 30-35 km from Varanasi. When you got to see deers having fun on the roads, you should be sure that you are welcomes in the territory of Chandraprabha wildlife santuary. As you can see in the photos that they came to my car window and put their head in the car to check if there is something of their interest. You can see beautiful waterfall falling from a height. You can also sit by the side of river having you feet in water and relaxing. The best season to visit and explore full scene is in the rainy season. The forest will be lush green then. And the waterfall would be much beautiful. Overall it would be a great experience to visit Chandraprabha Santuary.
