DACOITS OF CHAMBAL

  DACOITS OF CHAMBAL  The Ravines of Chambal once upon a time was famous for Notorious Dacoits. Expanding over an area of 8ooo square miles, the Chambal valley stretches across the three Indian States of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), Madhya Pradesh (M.P.) and Rajasthan. At an 80km drive from Agra, the land is full of deep ravines and forests, which have been the home to generations of outlaws for decades. The two districts of Bhind and Morena were known for their rugged terrain and the highly inflammable nature of the people.
