Sitanadi Hills

The Sitanadi hills rise among the forests south of the Chhattisgarh plain. The Sitanadi River begins in this wooded country and joins the Mahanadi near Deokhut; the Sondur and other streams also drain the southern uplands. Sal and mixed deciduous forests cover the hills, with bamboo among their plants. Together these rivers carry the waters of the highlands toward the Mahanadi, which ultimately flows east to the Bay of Bengal.
