Tours to Champaran
Located at about 60 km from Raipur, Champaran (earlier known as Champajhar) is a small but famous village as it's the birthplace of the saint Vallabhacharya, the reformer and founder of the Vallabh Sect. A beautiful temple has been built in honor of this great saint, which has enhanced the religious sanctity of the place. The temple of Champakeshwara Mahadeva is another attraction at Champaran, worth visiting on your Champaran Tour.
But the greatest attraction of Champaran is its Annual Fair, which is held with great fanfare in the month of Magh (January - February), every year. Another attraction of Champaran is the birthday celebrations of the saint Vallabhacharya on 11th day of Baisakh (April-May) when thousands of devotees assemble at the temple to pay their homage to the holy soul.

Boy you are lost !
Champaran is in Bihar not in Chhatisgarh. Consult a good atlas or go thru ur history book to exactly find the place
In any case if you are not an adventure tourist or a journalist I dont recommend you ask the way for this non discript village.
( I do know it's importance but that dates bk 85 yrs back)
