Popularly known as the ‘Satpura ki Rani’ (Queen of Satpura) is the glorious land called Pachmarhi in the second largest state of India, Madhya Pradesh. Tucked away 1,607m above sea level, Pachmarhi is a perfect platter for all the travel junkies that offer scenic landscapes, gushing waterfalls, pristine pools and lush green forests.

Known for the mighty hills that surround the region, the town is filled with places that can easily take you away from your stressful lives and make your hard-to-get holidays a memorable one.

Pachmarhi is one of the most popular destinations in the Heart of Incredible India and is a treasure trove of rich history and nature’s bounty. Some of the prominent tourist attractions in Pachmarhi include the ‘Pandavs Caves’ believed to be built by the Pandavas who lived here along with their wife Draupadi during their exile.

To make your vacation unforgettable, witness the gorgeous sunset at Dhoopgarh, the highest point in the Satpura Range, situated at an altitude of 1350 m. This place is a prominent tourist attraction throughout the year but during the monsoon season the experience of visiting Dhoopgarh becomes more magical as the place is enveloped by puffy monsoon clouds and lush green forests.

Another point of interest is the stone-formed Jata Shankar cave, deriving its name from the peculiar rock formation that looks like the matted dreadlocks of Lord Shiva. As per folklore, it is where Lord Shiva was supposed to have hidden from the Demon Bhasmasur.  Towards the end of the cave is a curious rock formation that looks like the taut hood of a cobra, locally believed to be the ‘Sheshnag’.
