The place where Ramcharitra Manas was written. Very nice place to visit for greenery and to see ancient caves where Lord Ram spent around 12 years with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman. Here you can see River Mandakini Ramghat, Tulsi Mandir, Bharat Milap, Bharat Koop, H Dhara Mountain, Kamadgiri mountain etc. Very nice place for pilgrims. On Amavasya and Purnima you'll get heavy crowd in Chitrakoot.
Sharda Mata temple.
Not many people know, but it is a wonderful place with greenery all around and a peaceful meditative atmosphere.
