Madhya Pradesh - Pachmarhi

Pachmarhi - Sightseeing


Priyadarshini Point :-

This Vantage viewing point marks the place from where Pachamrhi was discovered. In1857 Captain Forsyth, a Bengal Lancer, approached the plateau at the head head of a column of troops. At this point (originally named after him), his first glimpsed the extraordinary beauty of this saucer shaped scenic spot

 Handi Khoh :-

Pachamrhi's most impressive ravine has a 300feet high precipice and dramatically steep sides. A solitary place, with water flowing far below with an incessant murmuring  sound, Handi Koh's overhanging  crags shelters gigantic, undisturbed, bee hives 

 

 Jalawataran (Duchess Fall):-

3km along the path from the milestone for Bhrant Neer, is a route to the beautiful Duchess Fall. The descent is steep and the trek a strenuous one for almost all of the 4km walk to the base of the first cascade of the fall. This waterfall, that tumbles down in three distinct cascades, is the most picturesque of all Pachmarhi’s falls.


 Irene Pool :-

This pretty pool was discovered by Irene Bose , wife of Justice Vivian Bose  and named after her.

 Jata Shankar :-

A sacred cave under a mass of loose boulders which the Jambu Dwip stream has its source.  

 

 

 Apsara Vihar :-

A lovely little bathing pool, and 'fairy pool' is an ideal picnic spot for families with small children, since the pool is shallow, deepening only towards the base of the fall which cascades gently into its waters.

        Rajat Prapat :-

Those seeking adventure in Pachamrhi will find it in this ten minute walk over rocks and boulders from Apsara Vihar to the top of Rajat Pratap, the' big fall'.

        Bharant Neer ( Dorothy Deep) :-

It is accessible via a steppe descent from the footpath around Astachal hill. It has well executed animal paintings and when excavated in the 1930s yielded many pottery shards and microliths. On Astachal hill are four shelters with paintings, comparatively early linear drawings. Along the northern side of Jambu Dwip valley are some six shelters with many paintings of animal and human figures, including a detailed battle scene.
