Tucked away in the lush Satpura Range of Madhya Pradesh, Pachmarhi is a charming hill station blessed with waterfalls, caves, and panoramic viewpoints. Fondly known as the “Queen of Satpura”, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a haven for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and peace finders alike.
Pachmarhi’s beauty lies in its perfect blend of nature and mythology. It is believed that the Pandavas from the Mahabharata once took refuge here during their exile — their legacy still lives on in the Pandav Caves. The town’s colonial-era architecture, dense sal forests, and tranquil meadows offer a soothing escape from city life.
From cascading waterfalls like Bee Falls and Apsara Vihar to the breathtaking sunset view from Dhupgarh — the highest point in Madhya Pradesh — Pachmarhi is a destination that rejuvenates the soul. Its crisp mountain air, sacred temples, and vibrant flora make it one of India’s most underrated gems.
