site of Kabir Chaturba, which was the platform of introspection of
the greatly revered saint Kabir. Maa ki Bagiya, Kabir Chabutra and
Kapil Dhara.
Commuting
in
Amarkantak
Given the fact that Amarkantak is a very small town, most of the
intra city travel is done by foot. Another alternative for this matter
can be through auto rickshaws. They are the cheapest and most
convenient form of transport here. The prices are negotiable as the
autos do not ply by meters. Taxis are also available but they are
not as frequently visible as the auto rickshaws.
