In case you thought that there's no hilly region in MP then my dear you’re wrong. So let me correct you! Pachmarhi is the only hill station in MP situated at an altitude of 1067 meters. This place is concealed in nature which is known as the 'Queen of Satpura' as it is situated in the Satpura ranges. Pachmarhi is listed in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its popularity of flora and fauna.
Places to visit in
Pachmarhi are Dhoopgarh, Pandava Caves, Bee falls, Jatashankar Caves. Let's move further and let me tell you about an impressive tale behind the
Pandava Caves, it tells that when Pandavas were exiled they lived in these caves with their wife Draupadi.
The next exhilarating spot is the Jatashankar caves, you know 'everyone has a story. These caves speak about the tale of LordShiva.
If you enjoy adventure activities, then I would suggest you go for a Jeep safari in Satpura Tiger Reserve and paramotoring will add a kick to your rejuvenating trip. Pachmarhi was discovered by Charles James Forsyth, and then you'll for sure notice the architectural skill from the colonial era, one of the epitomes of this architecture is Christ Church. It will excite you to visit!
