Why go to Pachmarhi
Waterfalls, gorges and the Satpura hill views. Madhya Pradesh's only hill station, high in the Satpuras with waterfalls, ancient rock-cut caves and cool clouds — at its best in the monsoon.
Is it worth it?
Pachmarhi deserves a night — the 4.5-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
