Air-conditioned natural site Akurinala (Amurinala) Bansipur, Sonhat

ocated 60 kilometers from the district headquarters of Koriya, the site is reached by traveling from Sonhat—via Bhaiswar, Akalasarai, and Kishori—to Banshipur; from there, a journey of 2 kilometers deeper into the forest leads to a waterfall situated on the Akurinala stream. Nearby, the rock formation takes the shape of a cave, though the rocks on the upper sides of the two banks do not meet. Water continuously drips, drop by drop, from the rock on one side; the site remains cool even during the summer months, earning it the moniker of an “air-conditioned spot.” The Honorable Chief Justice of the Chhattisgarh High Court has also visited this location.
