Sonmuda (Amarkantak)

India / Madhya Pradesh / Amarkantak

Sonmuda is the place of origin of Sone River. It is situated at a distance of 1.5 km from Narmadakund at the very edge of Maikal Mountain. The Sone River cascades from the mountain in a waterfall hundreds of feet long. As we stand on the viewing platform facing east, we see a panorama of forested hills and valleys. According to Megasthanes and other Aryan writers the river Sone gets its name from gold as the gold dust is found in the water of Sone.
