Mainpat

Mainpat is a high, flat-topped plateau in the Surguja uplands, rising sharply above the surrounding country. Steep scarps and deep valleys cut its edges, and streams run outward from the plateau to feed the Rihand and Mand river systems. Forest clothes many of the slopes, while waterfalls mark the descent from the heights. Mainpat is one of several high tablelands known locally as pats in the northern Chhattisgarh hills.
