Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh, is a rare hill station in a state
that is largely a flat plateau. Pachmarhi is a maze of ravines
and gorges chiseled on red sandstone by the wind, for over
centuries, from a time when man still led a nomadic existence.
Stories of cavemen are painted on cave walls for you to see
on your tour to Pachmarhi and wonder about. Pandav Caves
find a mention in Ramayana as the place where the Pandavas
lived during their exile. These Pandav Caves at Pachmarhi
is a set of 5 caves that are almost as old as the cave paintings
at Bhimbetka.
The cave paintings at Mahadeo are worth a visit on your tour
to Pachmarhi. It is especially a good time to visit Pachmarhi'
Mahadeo Temple during the festive season of Shivrati.
This shrine atop the Chauragarh hill is a sight to behold
for the sheer number of devotees who negotiate the steep climb
to offer their prayers to Lord Shiva.
Another temple that you must visit on your tour to Pachmarhi
is the Jata Shankar Temple. This modest Lord Shiva
shrine is a cave temple obscured from view by a huge overhanging
rock protrusion.
Set on the hills of the Satpura Range National Park,
Pachmarhi is also spotted with countless pools and waterfalls.
After a day's excursion through the National Park on your
tour to Pachmarhi, waterfalls and natural pools offer
respite in the form of a refreshing bath. Bee Falls is one
of the popular and easily accessible sites for picnics and
long walks. You too can enjoy unassisted short walks or
guided treks through Pachmarhi on your tour to Pachmarhi.
Bison Lodge, Pachmarhi's first forest lodge, is a
museum that operates as an information center on the Satpura
region's flora and fauna. A complementary wildlife film in
the evening at an open-air theatre gets you back to understanding
nature in the most basic wave.
Pachmarhi is a seven hours journey from Bhopal, capital of
Madhya Pradesh, which is well connected to other major Indian
cities and towns.
