Bailadila, Dantewada, Chhattisgarh India

This mountain range is famous in the world for enormous and top quality deposits of Iron ore. Total 14 reserves have been discovered in this range. As this mountain range contains peaks that exactly look like the humps of the ox at different places, this range of mountains is also known as "Baila Dila" (meaning the hump of ox, in the local language). Bailadila has been established as an industrial area that has been divided into two towns, namely Bacheli (29 kms from Dantewada) and Kirandul (41 kms from Dantewada). Apart from understanding the mining activities one can also enjoy a panoramic view of the green forests and beautiful landscapes of the region.
