The Rewa Plateau covers a portion of Rewa district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The Rewa Plateau lies between the Kaimur Range in the south and Vindhya Range or Binj Pahar in the north. To the north of the Binj Pahar are the alluvial plains known as Uprihar. The plateau covers the Huzur, Sirmaur and Mauganj tehsils of Rewa district. The height decreases from south to north. The Kaimur Range is more than 450 metres (1,480 ft). The alluvial plains of Teonthar are just around 100 metres (330 ft).[1] A series of plateaux runs along the Kaimur Range. These fluvial plateaux, consists of a series of descending plateaux, starting with the Panna Plateau in the west, followed by Bhander Plateau and Rewa Plateau and ending with Rohtas Plateau in the east.[2]
