One of India’s most unusual gateways,Pachmarhi is not easy to get to.
It is the highest point in Madhya Pradesh,nestled in a saucer-shaped plateau that comprises jagged peaks and red sandstone escarpments.The hills encircle a landscape of lush sal and bamboo forests,which is indented by deep gorges and canyons,and overrun by cascading streams.
In fact, what really distinguishes Pachmarhi from other hill stations is it’s abundance of water bodies. You can have a picnic down at a chilled rock pool bathed in sunlight or swim and make merry near a waterfall or a confluence of streams. Where is the stream enters the gorges, it is even possible to swim up long narrow pools.
