Hanuman Dhara is a spring located on a steep hillside in Chitrakoot. On foot one has to climb a steep flight of 650 steps to reach this place. There is a big statue of Lord Hanuman, on which the water of this spring tumbles over. It is believed that, Hanuman Dhara was created by Ram to assuage Hanuman when he returned after setting Lanka on fire. Another 180 steps from here will get you to the Sita Rasoi. You may avoid the 650 steps by taking the newly launched (as of 2021) cable car ride by DRIL for ₹130 for a 2-way ticket.
Gupt Godavari is a natural wonder consisting of two caves. There is a pond known as 'Sitakund' in one of these caves which is perpetually fed by a small stream of water. It is believed that Ram and his brother Lakshman held court in the cave with a stream of water running along its base and two natural throne-like rocks. It really is quiet nice, be prepared to walk through knee deep water on uneven ground. Entrance is ten rupees but beware, the ticket office may fry to sell you multiple tickets and the cave is full of shameless priests who will demand donations, offerings, larger donations, and are not above grabbing tourists! Assume you will lose at least 50 rupees.
