Best emerging travel blog 2024 – uk, hotel news from la gomera, mykonos: picture perfect but pricey, pachmarhi travel guide, india.

This Pachmarhi Travel Guide is from guest author Shreya Patel. Here is what she had to say about Pachmarhi – a hill station in Madhya Pradesh in the very heart of India :

Pachmarhi, Queen of Satpura or Satpura ki Rani (in Hindi ), has an abundance of eye-tempting attractions to explore. Although the place is lesser known, once you visit Pachmarhi, its beauty will leave you in awe.  The good thing is that the government has kept it in the same condition, which means a plethora of unadulterated natural beauty for all travel junkies. Encompassed with lush greenery, rich wildlife, pristine waterfalls and picturesque landscapes, this Central Indian spot offers a high level of tranquillity for those who prefer hill stations over beaches.

So, being a wanderlust Indian myself, I am always keen on exploring those untraversed spots and so my curiosity led me to this beauty. I visited Pachmarhi with my family and booked a local gipsy camp to enjoy the beauty of this place better. We covered several attractions and I must say, the warmth and remarkable aura of Pachmarhi left me awestruck and happy.

In this Pachmarhi Travel Guide, I will be listing all the places you must visit when heading to this beautiful undiscovered part of India.

An Introduction to Pachmarhi

Located at a height of 1607 meters above sea level, Pachmarhi is in the second largest state, Madhya Pradesh. Since it’s the only hill station and the highest point in the state, it serves as a vantage point and is the most visited by locals and tourists across the nation.

The place is also home to wild animals – leopards and bison. The town isn’t very large and is a perfect cosy retreat for tourists from metropolitan cities.

Pachmarhi Travel Guide Facts

Some amazing fun facts I learned about this place are:

Pachmarhi was named a Biosphere reserve by UNESCO in May 2009.

A lot of cave paintings found in the caves of Pachmarhi are believed to be about 10,000 years old.

Dhoopgarh is the highest peak point of this hill station. During my trip, I visited here during sunset, and I can say that the views from the peak were unmatchable.

The name of this place, Pachmarhi, is derived from the words “Panch (Five) and Marhi (Caves)”.

Many Bollywood movies have been shot in this beautiful location. When I visited Reechgarh, a local guide told me that scenes of the popular movie Ashoka the Great, (starring Shah Rukh Khan & Kareena Kapoor), were shot here.

Bee Falls Pachmarhi

Amongst the count of waterfalls, the Bee Falls Pachmarhi is the most renowned. Also known as Jamuna Prapat, it offers the most extreme tranquillity one could ask for. The hiking trail, which is a wonderland in itself, leads visitors to this waterfall. Amid the trail, you’ll see 2-3 picturesque spots. Tourists here can be often found pushing and shoving to get a click with the mesmerizing view, especially the first-timers.

People sit and relax by the brooklet, while many dip their feet in the water and enjoy fish offering a very natural and free pedicure. It may be a little exhausting to hike down to the Bee Falls Pachmarhi, but as you arrive, the drizzle from the fall, the soothing sounds of gushing water, and the view will be enough to take away the fatigue.

Jatashankar Caves – A Lord Shiva Temple

The Jatashankar Caves is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage site. It is said to be the place where Lord Shiva concealed himself from the wrath of Bhasmasur. Although it’s a long walk to reach the temple entrance, it’s all worth it. On the way to the entrance, you will come across street sellers selling different items such as pipe fryums, papad, labdo ber, and herbal oil.

Here at the Jatashankar Caves, water seeps from the rock above and flows into the temple’s courtyard, making one’s feet numb. You may come across a lady, who sits on the cliff, and chants mantras of Lord Shiva, and her voice echoes can be heard throughout the entire cave. There is a cave built in the rock, from which you have to stoop to reach and worship before the idol of Lord Shiva.

Bade Mahadev Caves

Sitting in the lap of rugged nature is this Lord Shiva shrine, which goes by the name of the Bade Mahadev Caves. The temple also consists of the idols of Lord Brahma, Vishnu, and Ganesha, which are of major significance in the Hindu religion. At the entrance to the cave, there is a lot of Trishuls and Damru, symbolizing the tenacity of Lord Shiva.

Natural water streams inside the cave, which forms a holy pool. It is believed that whoever bathes in this pool, can wash away their sins. Here also, you will have to stoop to get to the end point of the cave, where you will find the idol of Mahadev and all the above-mentioned Gods.

As an extra travel tip for your visit to the Bade Mahadev Caves, beware of the monkeys roaming around, as they can snatch your food and bag.

Pandav Gufa Caves

Pandav Caves or Gufa are well renowned and have a reference to Indian mythological characters Pandavas, hence the name. These caves are said to be the place where Pandavas ( 5 sons of Kunti ) stayed during their exile period. It is now a protected tourist spot, and people from all over India visit here to witness this place. Built in the 9th century, these caves are adorned by beautiful sculptures and ancient carvings.

A pathway from a large beautiful garden leads to the Caves.  Here you can see a group of five small caves, covered with grills, and carved on a hilltop. The caves are covered with lush greenery and provide a tranquil aura away from bustling cities.

This was, however, the least interesting place for me in Pachmarhi. 

Reechgarh is a huge cave hidden in the folds of Pachmarhi. A myth says that a giant bear (reech in Hindi) used to live in this cave, and hence, a local legend gave this place the name Reechgarh. Here you’ll get to see sunshine peeking through craggy rocks, making it a beautiful place to take pictures. The climb above the cave offers vistas of lush greenery and this cave serves as a natural air conditioner since a cool wind blows through them.

However, to enjoy the best views of this place, you will have to hike down through the streak boulders. And, while doing so, you need to be very careful to avoid tripping over.

Dhoopgarh is the highest point in Pachmarhi and is located at a height of 1352 meters. It serves the most eye-tempting views of the place. It is the best place to admire sunrises and sunsets, and hence, most people come here during these times only. The vistas are truly incredible, and people often enjoy this view with snacks and tea.

However, you can only reach here by trekking up to the peak. The route isn’t easy either. The path passes through certain waterfalls and valleys, therefore making the way as steep and challenging as you can imagine.

For first-time visitors it’s best to visit Dhoopgarp with an experienced Pachmarhi Travel Guide, as the hike can be a little overwhelming.

Being one of the most beautiful ravines in central India, Handi Koh is a v-shaped ravine covering a 300-foot-deep precipice in the heart of a dense forest. This place has a rich mythological history and is said to be closely linked with Lord Shiva. Although it was said to be a lake earlier, it dried up due to the wrath of a giant snake. Now Handi Koh is well known for hiking, trekking, horse riding, and photography.

Here you will get a view from the cliff of a ravine laden with trees, and greenery. Local people will hand over binoculars and telescopes for a fee. Indigenous people use a rope to get down into the jungle to get herbs for medicinal virtues. 

Best Time to Visit Pachmarhi

The best time to visit Pachmarhi is anytime year-round, thanks to its pleasant weather and topography. The days here are pleasant with chilly nights, which makes it a perfect getaway destination. However it would be best to avoid the monsoon (July to September) since the precipitation is quite high in this region.

In my experience, the best time to visit Pachmarhi would be in the summer season (April to June), which is perfect to escape the dry heat of the plains. Not only is it less crowded, but it also tends to be much cooler as compared to other hotter parts of the country. The weather is just as perfect as any hill station encounters. Plus, what’s the best time to enjoy playing around in waterfalls? It’s always the summer.

How to Reach Pachmarhi

Being the only hill station of Madhya Pradesh, it’s the most visited and hence is well connected with major cities of the region. Bhopal is one of the nearest cities to reach here (210 km). Those taking a flight from Delhi, Mumbai or any other Indian city, can utilize Raja Bhoj Airport to reach Bhopal and then take a taxi to Pachmarhi (which is a 4-hour drive).

If you’re someone who prefers travelling by train, then a useful Pachmarhi Travel Guide tip is to take a train to reach Pipariya Railway Station, the closest to Pachmarhi (only 54 km). This train station is linked directly with several major stations including Varanasi, Surat, Delhi, Nagpur, Kolkata, etc. When you reach Pipariya, take a taxi to Pachmarhi and you will reach in about an hour.

If you prefer a road trip, then you are most welcome to bring your vehicle. Although driving can be exhausting, you will get to enjoy the stunning vistas as you drive. Remember that the travelling time will depend upon the traffic and whether you make stops in the middle.

For the road route, you can also opt for a bus ride. Yes, several state-owned and private buses are accessible for Pachmarhi from nearby cities like Bhopal, Jabalpur, Nagpur, Indore, and renowned tourist attractions like Kanha National Park and Pench National Park. Being a cantonment town, the road conditions here are quite phenomenal.

Accommodations in Pachmarhi

It makes sense that being a popular spot amongst the locals and tourists, there are a handful of accommodations accessible in Pachmarhi. From budget stays to chic hotels, there is a suitable option for everyone. That said, budgeted hotels are available for a stay starting from INR 600 to INR 1500. Although these hotels are affordable the quality of stay provided isn’t questionable.

But for me, the budget wasn’t the issue, so I decided to book a lavish hotel. And since hill stations call for a chic stay with a mind-blowing view from the balcony, I went for a hotel that offers the same. Fortunately, there are plenty of incredible options nearby Satpura National Park, Dhoopgarh, and Pandav Caves. And since hill stations call for a chic stay with a mind-blowing balcony view, I went for a hotel that offers the same.

Final Takeaway

I have always preferred natural beauty over man-made attractions and this place offered it all. And indeed, a trip to a cosy hill station can better rejuvenate your entire soul. Pachmarhi is truly a gem brimming with a myriad of remarkable attractions and offers the most tranquil vistas you could ask for.

The best thing I realized here was that even with an excessive population, such a mesmerizing gift of nature still exists in the country. If you’re in India or ever plan to visit here, then make sure to spend some time exploring the beauty of this hill station.

Not only will this place offer you peace, but will take you a step closer to the tales of Indian mythology. I will also recommend you carry strong grip shoes for rugged trails, sunglasses and a hat to avoid being smothered in dust, as well as some motion sickness tablets.

Pachmarhi, only hill-town in MP

This town has average elevation of 1100 meters. Dhupgarh, the highest point of Madhya Pradesh at 1350 meter also located in this region . Once, I had read about Satpura’s deep forest in our school text book. Fortunately, I got a chance to revise that chapter, there were many beautiful hills, deep & green valleys, rare medicinal forest and so many waterfalls in surrounding of Pachmarhi.

The town have some naturally formed caves which have religious importance too. There are several beautiful waterfalls around Pachmarhi town lies in the forest, good to test your trekking strength. Due to its rich ecosystem, area around Pachmarhi also added in the list of UNESCO biosphere reserve .

Nowadays, Pachmarchi also offers some adventure activities to attracts young and enthusiastic visitors. All these qualities make Pachmarhi a perfect blend for all kind of visitors; It may be a wild life photographer, nature lover, adventurer or religious one. And only after visiting Pachmarhi you will know, why this place known as ‘Queen of Satpura’ .

So, here is the quick travel guide with 4 days itinerary and other required information you need.

As soon you land in this tourist town you got 4 days itinerary of Pachmarhi on back of visiting card of any hotel/tour operator. Mostly, all the important attractions like cave temples, scenic beauty of deep forest and waterfalls around Pachmarhi town have been covered in this 4 day itinerary.

You can categorize these tourists spot in two; places falls under forest area and non-forest area. To visit the spot under forest region, you need to take prior permission from Bison Lodge tourist information center to enter in forest reserved area.

Bison Lodge is the oldest building of Pachmarhi town . It was constructed in 1862 as a temporary residence of Captain Forsyth then forest officer. Captain and his team use to stay here during exploration and survey of the surrounding forests. In the later period this town developed as a British military station.

Even, as on today most of the part of Pachmarhi covered with military cant and very little area for the civil town. Now this is converted into a museum and information center for the tourists. The gallery display information about flora-fauna and tribal life of the region. It also display life size statue of Bison, tiger and other wild animals and bird.

Pandav gufa, rock cut shelters.

The very first landmark that draw your attention is Pandav Gufa, This is a group of five rock cut shelter and believed to have a close connection with Pandavas (Characters of Mahabharata ).

Pachmarhi got its name because of these five rock cut shelters . It is believed Pandavas had spent some time here during their exile period.

But a study tells that these rock cut structure belongs to Gupta periods ( approx 1500 years old) and was dug for the Buddhist monks. The top portion of this big rock is covered with ancient bricks, and from there you can have 360 degree view of surroundings.

In the upper stream of the Silver fall, water collect in the naturally build pool which is quite shallow and easily accessible. But these days quantity of water in the pool is small because of lesser rain.

Places to Visit in Pachmarhi, Queen of Satpura – A Complete Travel Guide

Madhya Pradesh

Last Updated on: May 9, 2021  

Our introduction to Madhya Pradesh, the heart of India was through the Pachmarhi trip. A few days of leaves during the Durga Puja led to a plan of Panchmarhi. This blog is about our trip to Pachmarhi or the Queen of Satpura and all the places to visit in Pachmarhi. We have tried to include as much information to make this guide as helpful as possible.

The “Queen of Satpuras” or “ Satpura ki Rani ”, as it is fondly called is a treasure in itself. Yes, I am talking about Pachmarhi, the most popular hill station in Madhya Pradesh . The official website of Madhya Pradesh Tourism has given Pachmarhi the moniker “ the tallest and only Queen of Satpura ” and we cannot agree more. A pristine hill station, Pachmarhi appears as a cool oasis in the midst of an otherwise warm and hot Madhya Pradesh. Not only the climate but also the landscape of Panchmarhi differs from other regions in the state.

No wonder, when Captain James Forsyth of Bengal Lancers chanced upon Pachmarhi in 1862 while heading towards Jhansi, he was quick to appreciate its beauty and natural charm and reported to his superiors. The British then developed Pachmarhi as a sanatorium for the British troops. Later the British developed Pachmarhi as a cantonment area and summer retreat for the central provinces, just as they did in case of Darjeeling, Kurseong and Ooty. It was quite obvious that the hot and humid weather conditions of Indian plains were not suitable for the British and wherever they found any place with a milder climate, they built a resort town there. Later Colonel Forsyth also praised the beauty of Pachmarhi elaborately in his book “ The Highlands of Central India ”.

The Bison Lodge is the oldest standing building in Pachmarhi. It was built by Captain Forsyth. He used it as a forest lodge to explore the surrounding. He founded the forest department of Madhya Pradesh province . The Bison Lodge now serves as a museum depicting the flora and fauna of the area.

Pachmarhi and Legends

Like the majority of Indian destinations, Pachmarhi also has a mythological legend behind its name. As per Mahabharata, the Pandavas were forced into exile after losing everything in a game of dice to their cousin brothers and arch enemies Kauravas. They were to live in anonymity for a year. It is said that during their exile, the 5 Pandava brothers had visited Pachmarhi and found 5 caves for their shelter. So ‘ Pach ‘ means five and ‘ marhi ‘ means shelter . So these 5 caves still exist in Pachmarhi and are a major tourist attraction now.

Apart from the 5 caves, Pachmarhi is the home to many other small and big caves, numerous beautiful waterfalls and a lot of greenery. Located at an altitude of 1100 m, the small hill station is the highest in altitude in Madhya Pradesh. Pachmarhi is also a part of the Satpura National Park and so you can visit to some of the best wildlife destinations in India from here. If these reasons are not enough to entice you to take a Pachmarhi trip, let me start off with the best places to visit in Pachmarhi. Later in the post, I will share our Pachmarhi itinerary as well.

Best Places to Visit in Pachmarhi

True to its name, Pachmarhi is a quaint hill station in the lap of Satpuras and is the home to many caves as well as waterfalls. I have been rambling about the beauty of this hill station since long. Now here are the list of some unmissable spot and places to visit in Pachmarhi.

Rajat Prapat Waterfall

Rajat Prapat, also known as the Silver Falls is visually quite stunning. Falling from a height of 350 feet (107 m), the waterfall looks like a silver strip when sunlight falls on it and hence the name. The waterfall is said to be the 30th  highest waterfall in India and is surrounded with lush greenery.

The falls is on the other side of the mountain. You can actually do to the top of the falls by a trekking route through the forest. A guide is required if you wish to trek to the falls. There are a few caves on the hiking route where cave paintings are said to be found. We did not trek all the way up to the Rajat Prapat but saw the water cascading in a single drop from a distance. I am sure trekking along these parts will be quite a novel experience.

Apsara Vihar Falls

Another beautiful waterfall that you must visit in your Pachmarhi trip is the Apsara Vihar Falls. A 10 minute downhill trail will take you to the waterfall. The Apsara Vihar or Fairy Pool has an interesting trivia behind it.

It is believed that during the British era, British ladies used to come here for a bath.  The locals used to sneak at them. The ladies being fair, the locals thought of them to be apsaras or fairies. Hence the pool was named “Apsara Vihar”! So much for fairies!

Anyways, Apsara Vihar is still one of the favourite places for locals and tourists alike. There is a pool below the waterfall where people enjoys diving and swimming.

Pachmarhi is a place with a lot of waterfalls and Bee Falls is one of the most picturesque ones. Also known as the Jamuna Prapat, a visit here was one of the best points in our Pachmarhi trip. The waterfall is 150 feet in height and is one of the most magnificent waterfalls of Panchmarhi. We hiked downhill about a kilometer to reach the base of the waterfall and once there, we were simply left awestruck. Water was gushing down at a great force to a pool beneath. And many people were having a good time in the pool. After contemplating for some time, we finally gave in to the temptation and headed towards the pool under the waterfall. I am sure you can imagine how amazing the experience was!

Pandava Caves

Pandava Caves is said to be one of the top tourist places to visit in Pachmarhi. With all the mythology and legend behind the five caves, the place has become one of the must-visit places in Pachmarhi trip. As I mentioned before, it is the place where the 5 Pandava brothers took shelter during a part of their exile. It is also believed that later in 1 st Century AD, some Buddhist monks also took shelter in these caves.

We found the Pandava Caves to be quite overrated. There is a flight of stairs leading to the caves. The caves were quite small in size and I kept wondering how Bheema, the brother known for his huge physique would enter and fit into such a small cave! I guess some questions are better left unanswered. Nevertheless, the view from the top is good and the garden in front of the caves is beautiful.

If you are fond of sunsets, then you must keep Dhoopgarh in your Pachmarhi itinerary. Dhoopgarh is the highest point in the Satpura ranges and is the best place to watch a sunset in Pachmarhi. Dhoopgarh also gives a 360-degree view of the surrounding areas.

Dhoopgarh was quite busy and crowded when we went for the sunset. Unfortunately for us, the day was a bit cloudy, but it was lovely to see the orange and red hue over the green mountains. We missed a great sunset, but we had some beautiful experiences.

Jata Shankar Caves

Jata Shankar Caves is another good place to visit in Pachmarhi trip. It is a natural cave located in deep ravines with huge boulders perched over it.  A reclusive place surrounded by hills, the caves have almost 108 Shiva Lingas formed naturally.

There are 2 theories about the name of the cave. While mythological legend says that Lord Shiva had left a part of his Jata (hair) at this place while he concealed himself from Bhasmasur here. Hence the name of the place is Jata Shankar. The second one says that the stalactites and stalagmites formed inside the cave looks like the matted hair or Jata of Lord Shiva. Hence the name of the cave is given, Jata Shankar. Your faith will make you believe either or neither of the stories. But it is good to listen to such mythological stories in places such as these.

Water drops from the top of the cave and there are 2 pools inside the cave. You have to bend down to visit the shrines inside the cave. The temperature inside the caves is quite low and so it feels very comfortable there after coming from the sun. The naturally made cave is the real wonder of this place.

Handi Khoh is the unofficial suicide point of Pachmarhi. Well, don’t be alarmed. After all our travel throughout India, we have found that the majority of the hill stations have a suicide point, irrespective of the fact whether anyone ever committed suicide from there or not. The place is usually a beautiful cliff or gorge that looks down to some deep crevasse. The place is no doubt dangerous for selfie-loving people. A fall from such suicide points would be near mortal.

Anyways, Handi Khoh is a beautiful 300 feet deep V-shaped ravine created by 2 forested hills. The place is quite beautiful and you can see the green Satpura ranges at a distance. The place is a famous spot for photography and horse riding now. Chauragarh is visible at a distance from here.

Gupt Mahadeo or Chhota Mahadeo

Gupt Mahadeo is an interesting place. The place is actually a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is a 40 feet long and narrow cave where a Shiva lingam and a Ganesha idol are enshrined.  The cave is so narrow that we had to enter it sideways. Only eight people are allowed to enter the caves at a time. Once we entered inside Gupt Mahadeo, it was all dark, cold and felt as if we had arrived at some ancient era. Well, it was a different kind of experience at Gupt Mahadeo as well as Jata Shankar Cave.

There is a narrow path which leads to the Bade Mahadeo from the Gupt Mahadeo, though tourists are not allowed to use this path.

Bada Mahadev

Bada Mahadev is another temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located at some distance from the Chhota Mahadev or Gupt Mahadeo. This cave is about 60 feet long. Large idols of Lord Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and Lord Ganesha are enshrined inside the cave.  A serpentine road leads to the Bade Mahadeo temple. It is a wonder to see that water constantly falls upon the Shiv Linga inside the cave. A kund is also situated in the middle of the cave. There is another cave situated near bade Mahadeo, the cave of Goddess Parvati.

Trivia: According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Lord Vishnu incarnated as Mohini Killed the demon King Bhasmasur here. Bade Mahadeo thus holds a significant place to the worshippers of Lord Shiva. Many people visit Bade Mahadev Temple during the festival of Shivaratri.

Reechgarh is a natural amphitheatre. It is a natural cavern having an opening at both ends. We had to scramble amidst boulders and stones while entering the place.  The exit is also quite interesting where we had to cross a narrow canyon. Reechgarh is a natural wonder and it did not disappoint us in our Pachmarhi trip.

Priyadarshini Point

Priyadarshini Point was earlier known as the Forsyth Point. It is from this place that Captain James Forsyth had ‘discovered’ Pachmarhi. Just imagine, one fine day, he came to this region, stood at the same place where I might have been standing and thought ‘Oh, what a beautiful place’! Well, we could also the same thing about the place because it offers one of the most beautiful and breathtaking views of Pachmarhi.

Later, Mrs Indira Gandhi had visited the spot in 1964 and admired the beauty of Pachmarhi from here. She must have had the same thoughts as Captain Forsyth. And then the place was renamed Priyadarshini Point after Mrs Gandhi.

Pachmarhi Catholic Church

Amidst all the greenery and waterfalls and caves, Pachmarhi town is also breathtakingly beautiful. Being a part of a British resort town, Panchmarhi has some beautiful colonial architecture. The Catholic Church is one example. The church was said to have built in the 19 th century and is almost 150 years old. The church looks old from a distance but has such an old-worldly charm to it. It was something that we saw in Bilaspur as well.

The church remains open only for a few hours on Sunday morning for mass and prayers.

Chauragarh Temple

Chauragarh Temple is another revered temple in Pachmarhi area located at an altitude of 1326 m. The temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is located atop a hill surrounded by hills, forests and verdant valley. Chauragarh Peak is also the second-highest peak in the Satpura region.

There are 2 ways to reach the temple. The traditional way is to climb around 1300 odd stairs to the top of the hill to the temple. The other way is more adventurous where you have to trek through the forests to reach the temple. Once you reach the temple, you will see several tridents or Trishuls kept at the courtyard.

Chauragarh is quite revered by the Shaivites and receives a number of pilgrims during the Maha Shivratri and Nag Panchami Festivals. The devotees often carry trishuls on their back as a part of some religious rituals.

Satpura National Park

The Satpura National Park is a good place for wildlife lovers and a must-visit on your Pachmarhi trip if you visit during the season. The huge national park spread across 202 sq miles is the home to a variety of flora. The Denwa River flows through the national park and you have to cross the river during the safari.

The national park is also the natural habitat of bison, spotted deer, elephants, leopards, tigers, sloth bear, four-horned antelopes and various migratory birds.

Opening hours: 1st October to 15th June

Summer: 5:45 AM to 9:30 AM and 3 PM to 6:30 PM. Winter: 6 AM to 10 AM and 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM

Now that you have a fair idea of the places to visit in Pachmarhi, let me share the experience of our Pachmarhi trip and a tentative itinerary.

Our Pachmarhi Trip Experience

It was the Durga Puja and we were already late for getting train tickets for any destination. All the tickets to NJP were waitlisted with very fewer chances of confirmation. After much thought and deliberation, we decided to venture to Madhya Pradesh. It was our first trip to the state and we were pretty excited. We zeroed on to Pachmarhi and Jabalpur for our week-long trip.

We first visited Jabalpur and explored Bhedaghat and the Chausath Yogini Temple there. From Jabalpur, we took a train towards Pipariya, the nearest railway station to Pachmarhi. We were supposed to reach by evening, but like most Indian trains at those days, the train was extremely late. We finally reached quite late at night. We hired a car from the Pipariya station and it took us to the MTDC resort where we were booked.

Well, Pachmarhi has some of the best resorts of Madhya Pradesh Tourism . I will come to that in the later part of the post.

The next 2 days, we totally enjoyed exploring Pachmarhi. It was more special as it was our first time in Madhya Pradesh and was different from our usual visits to North Bengal. We took a Maruti Gypsy for exploring the place. We shared the Gypsy with another couple and their cute little daughter.

An Ideal Pachmarhi Itinerary for 2 days

I am giving the Pachmarhi Itinerary as we did it in 2 days.

Reach Pachmarhi.

We had our breakfast at the resort and started for our Pachmarhi trip. We first stopped at Rajat Prapat or Silver Falls. From there, it was a few minutes’ walk to the Apsara Vihar. The next stop was Bee Falls. We also wanted to visit the Duchess Fall. But the waterfall was deep inside the forest and the path was not good at that time because of late monsoon. We had to skip Duchess Falls on this trip.

After having a great time at Bee Falls, we returned to our hotel for lunch. Pachmarhi is a small town and the places are more or less nearby each other.

Post lunch session began with our visit to Reechgarh and then finally to Dhoopgarh to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Dhoopgarh was a real respite after all the monkeying around at the waterfalls. After sunset, we were back at our resort.

The day started with a visit to Gupt Mahadeo followed by Bade Mahadev.

Next in line was the suicide point or Handi Khoh and Priyadarshini Viewpoint followed by the most overrated places to visit in Pachmarhi according to us – the Pandava Caves.

After Pandava Caves, we visited Jata Shankar Caves. It was better after our disappointment at Pandava Caves.

It was lunchtime next. But we stopped at the Pachmarhi Church before returning for lunch.

Post lunch we visited Chauragarh. Well, it was not quite a good decision to visit Chauragarh after lunch. I had a tough time climbing the stairs after a heavy meal. By the time we were on the top, I was starving again!

After Chauragarh, we returned to our resort. Our Pachmarhi trip also ended with this. We did not visit the Satpura National Park as it was not open at that time.

If you are taking your Pachmarhi trip in the between October to May, you can keep a day extra to visit Satpura National Park as well.

Panchmarhi is a beautiful hill station away from the hustle-bustle of the cities and a perfect place for a two-day trip. Even a walk down the roads of Panchmarhi will make you feel good and jubilant. The waterfalls and the naturally formed caves and rocky structures are the major attractions. It was a perfect trip for us. It was not strenuous like our usual trekking programmes, also it had a few hikes which we really liked. Panchmarhi was thus a break from our usual travels and we really welcomed it.

Pachmarhi Travel Tips

How to reach pachmarhi.

The nearest airport to Pachmarhi is Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport about 200 km.

Jabalpur’s Dumna Airport is about 250 km away from Pachmarhi.

Nearest railway station to Pachmarhi is Pipariya which is about 52 km away from Pachmarhi. Pipariya railway station is on Howrah-Mumbai mainline and almost all passing-by trains use to stop here. Transfer from Pipariya to Pachmarhi is much difficult. Private and public carrier Jeeps and Buses are available at Pipariya Railway Station all the time for heading towards Pachmarhi and vice versa at reasonable charges.

Pachmarhi is well connected with Jabalpur, Bhopal, Nagpur and Chindwara by road. Nagpur is about 250 km from Pachmarhi. There is Madhya Pradesh State Buses plying from Panchmarhi to Jabalpur and Nagpur at fixed times.

Interesting Milestone at Pipariya

Those who love history and heritage like us would find an interesting and old milestone in Pipariya from the British era. The milestone has inscriptions on three sides and the distances are measured in miles as it was done during the British era. After the British left India in 1947, that kilometers were adopted as distance markers.

The milestone is located near the MTDC Tourist Lodge in Pipariya. Apart from the distances, the milestone also gives information about the construction of roads and railways there. It says Pachmarhi Sadak (Road) 1870, Pipariya Rail 8.3.1870. These dates are perhaps the date of construction of these roadways and railways.

Where to Stay in Pachmarhi?

As I said before, the MP Tourism hotels are the best places to stay in Panchmarhi not only because of their hospitality but also for their beautiful locations.

The Rock End manor is the most beautiful and high-end property there.

There are also many private hotels available in the market area.

What is the best time to visit Pachmarhi?

Pachmarhi being a hill station has a pleasant climate all through the year. The summers between April to June has a pleasant temple. This is the best thing about Pachmarhi. When the rest of Madhya Pradesh is scorching with unbearable heat, Pachmarhi is still pleasant. So the summer months are definitely a good time to visit Pachmarhi.

The monsoon months are between July to September. Pachmarhi looks beautiful and verdant during the monsoon. The rain makes the place even more romantic and ethereal. The waterfalls look better and bigger. Roads to some of them might be bad, but the overall ambience is absolutely mesmerizing during the monsoon. I always believe that monsoon brings out the best in some places like Bangriposi, Darjeeling and Pachmarhi as well.

October (autumn) is also a good time to visit Pachmarhi. Infact, we had visited at the beginning of October. The weather remains pleasant and clear. The landscape is still green after the monsoon. We did not need any woollens during our visit in October.

November to February (winter months) are colder. You would need your winter clothes during this time.

Also if you want to visit the Satpura National Park, then you must plan your Pachmarhi trip between October and May.

Bucket list travel on a budget: Expert tips for airfare, loyalty programs, credit card perks and more

Many travelers have their sights set on summer getaways , but with everything from baggage fees to fuel costs impacting the price of a ticket, "Good Morning America" is asking travel experts to share tips for booking bucket list destinations on a budget and finding savings along the way.

Travel expert Nicky Kelvin, senior director of content for The Points Guy, offered his tips for affordable travel techniques.

Where to find the best flight deals

Kelvin encourages travelers to utilize Google Flights and other free price-tracking tools to compare fare prices and snag the best deal.

He also suggests using both the calendar and map features within Google Flights to see which airports, dates and destinations how the lowest fare.

From the Google Flights homepage on a computer, click "explore destinations" and select a departure city without adding a destination. Then zoom out on the map to see the best prices for destinations all over the world.

Get the most out of free travel loyalty programs

Travelers should be earning points for anything and everything that they are buying or booking from airline and hotels to car rentals, Kelvin said.

In addition to the points that can can help travelers earn free flights and hotel stays, Kelvin said to look for extra perks just for joining.

Hyatt rewards, for example, offers all guests free breakfast.

For Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Car Rental, he said you can add your spouse or domestic partner as an additional driver for free.

Loyalty programs are great for airlines too. JetBlue, for example, allows enrolled customers -- even if they don't have enough points for a flight -- to use points for discounts. Plus, with any airline, as you accumulate points to earn status, you can get free seating upgrades.

Travel credit cards with cash back perks

Along with earning points, travel credit cards give you protection for your trip like insurance to help with lost or damaged baggage and trip cancellation protection

As for credit cards, The Points Guy team suggests the Capital One Venture Rewards credit card as an all-around pick -- you get 75,000 miles after meeting your minimum spend in the first three months. Which Kelvin said is a value of over $1,300.

If you're looking to earn the most miles, he said look to the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.

"You'll earn the most points on all your purchases with this one," he said.

Finally, if you want a credit card with no fee, Kelvin suggested the Bilt Mastercard, which he said is particularly great for renters because you can earn points on what's likely someone's biggest expense.

Save money on international phone plans for summer trips

If someone's trip is taking them out of the country, using a cell phone internationally can cost $10 to 15 per day. For a family of four, that's more than $400 for a week.

If your phones support eSIM, Kelvin suggested purchasing a data plan for your destination through an app such as Airalo, Truphone or GigSky.

For example, one of Airalo's global SIM plans costs $9 for one week, which could save a family close to $350 dollars, depending on their existing international coverage.

Albanese's PNG trip comes with it a subtle jab at Morrison. King's was about as subtle as a sledgehammer

Analysis Albanese's PNG trip comes with it a subtle jab at Morrison. King's was about as subtle as a sledgehammer

Spare a thought for the poor public servant tasked with considering how two prime ministers would be able to relieve themselves while partaking in a multi-day hike. 

It's likely the LAST thing the respective leaders would want to talk about with anyone, let alone a member of staff.

It's the thing of dreams for a program like Utopia. You can imagine the whiteboards, the maps and a certain lack of eye contact being made as the planning ensued.

But such are the considerations when you're a world leader spending two days hiking an iconic track synonymous with Australia and PNG's war efforts in jungle terrains. 

There's a certain expectation that comes with an Australian prime minister on Anzac Day. They're often found at the War Memorial in Canberra, visiting a domestic military base or standing on foreign shores where Australian soldiers have fallen. 

Anthony Albanese's decision to spend two days hiking the Kokoda Track, a trip that culminated with a dawn service in Isurava, can't be underestimated in its significance, and not just back home. 

Ninety-nine of the 625 Australians who were killed on the Kokoda Track died in the Battle of Isurava.

On Thursday morning, after trekking for 16 kilometres through the jungles of PNG, an Australian prime minister stood and vowed his country "will never forget" the people of PNG . He did so while recognising the Anzac soldiers and their families whose sacrifice came with the ultimate cost.

But this was more than just about meeting the annual expectation of an Australian PM. 

PNG is, geographically, Australia's closest neighbour and a country under a watchful eye of a Chinese government keen to bolster its relationships throughout the Pacific . 

Just 24 hours before Albanese touched down in PNG, China's top diplomat, in the words of PM James Marape, "blessed" the country with a visit. 

Albanese's thesis when he came to power was that the former Coalition government had taken its eyes off the Pacific. He argued his predecessor Scott Morrison, who faced criticism for how he dealt with Pacific leaders , had created an environment that allowed China to exploit fractures between Australia and the region. 

It's why Albanese was so willing to spend his precious time marching up and down mountains and valleys, climbing hundreds of metres, surrounded by military personnel, security and support staff. 

A friend, having completed the Camino de Santiago, once remarked that it was through seeing someone else's, well, bowel movements alongside the famous walk that it occurred to her that no matter how different our cultures might be, as humans we're all the same. 

Albanese and Marape have just spent two days side by side in some of their most vulnerable states. They've talked, they've joked and shared an experience that has reminded them about the bond they and their nations share.

The real test is what comes next. If PNG is in a moment of need, Albanese's hope is that bond he's formed has moved him to the top of that call list. 

Economic headwinds blowing

While the PM was off hiking, back home his treasurer, Jim Chalmers, had returned from his own trip to the (economic) frontline. 

Fresh from the US, Chalmers arrived with a warning about the economic headwinds that were blowing our way. 

It's worth remembering that there are three certainties in life: death, taxes and a treasurer lowering expectations ahead of a looming budget. 

In little over two weeks, Chalmers will hand down what is widely expected to be his second consecutive surplus, not that he's willing to make that commitment out loud just yet. 

Someone willing to lock it in is the renowned economist Chris Richardson, arguably the nation's pre-eminent non-government budget watcher.

"Absolutely. Pretty close to in the bag at this stage," he told the ABC's Afternoon Briefing when asked if a surplus was certain. 

Richardson dubbed Chalmers' rhetoric as a "time-honoured ritual", but argued Australia was in "magnificent shape compared to a bunch of places".

Iron ore prices might have moderated from their highs but were, as Richardson described it "still bloody beautiful", and comfortably above budget forecasts.

"Federal budget isn't being challenged by what is happening globally and it is in much better shape than the treasurer is letting on," Richardson said, pointing to a budget still benefiting from relatively low unemployment (good for both the government's income tax take and for lower welfare payments) and high commodity prices. 

Where Richardson and Chalmers agreed was the impact inflation was having on the budget. 

Privately, Labor hopes an interest rate cut will come before the next election. It had hoped it would come later this year but this week's inflation figures look to have dashed those expectations. 

"It is a reminder that for an ease of cost of living in Australia, it's going to be be tax cuts well before it is interest rate cuts," Richardson warned. 

It leaves Chalmers facing a tight balancing act. Offer too much support now — which voters might initially like — and he risks fuelling inflation further, which could all but rule out any RBA rate cut before the next election. 

He hands down the budget on May 14. 

PEP in their step

There was a flurry of excitement earlier this week when lifelong friends Bronwen Bock and Lucy Bradlow announced they're running in the Melbourne seat of Higgins at the next federal election.

Higgins has often been considered a TEALable seat. A wealthy electorate, demographically it looks a lot like the seats that the teal independents won from the Liberal Party at the last election. 

Much was made about how Bock and Bradlow would be the nation's first job-sharing politicians (even if constitutional law expert Anne Twomey all but immediately dismissed the possibility) .

The buzz seemed to forget that Australia HAS had job-sharing ministers, it's just the ministers didn't know about it in most cases. 

Scott Morrison's unorthodox approach to secretly swearing himself into a raft of ministries didn't come with a week-on-week-off plan like Bock and Bradlow are envisaging. It was more a "I now have your power and will use it irrespective of what you think, Keith Pitt" kind of deal.

In that instance, Nationals MP Pitt was the then-resources minister and by the time Morrison had himself entered into another job-sharing arrangement, he was well versed in the acquisition of ministerial power. 

For those who have forgotten, Morrison secretly acquired responsibility for health and finance portfolios early in the pandemic — a "back-up" just in case either of the ministers should be struck down by the deadly virus, he later explained. 

A year later, Morrison added treasury and home affairs to his arsenal. 

His most brazen power grab, though, was assuming responsibility of the mega-portfolio of industry, science and resources to circumvent Pitt's desire to extend a controversial offshore gas exploration licence, known as PEP-11, off the New South Wales coast.

It says a lot about his cabinet that by this point he could no longer trust his ministers to carry out the decisions his government wanted, so had himself sworn in. Morrison, in the end, got his way and rejected the extension — a move Labor supported.

It's proved a decision that has haunted Labor in government.

After it emerged that Morrison had secretly been the one to reject the application, Asset Energy took the federal government to the Federal Court , which in turn led to the decision being overturned . The company reaffirmed its commitment to PEP-11 in February . 

Quietly on Tuesday, Resources Minister Madeleine King released a statement saying she'd recused herself from future decisions about the contentious project. 

WA MP King, who knows all too well the role mining will play in determining her party's electoral fortunes in the west, was a fierce critic of PEP-11 from opposition. Labor insists it is merely a pre-emptive decision to ensure any comments she's offered previously don't interfere with what comes next. 

But she made sure her comments were more about Morrison than they were about the action she was taking, even if she didn't name the former PM. 

"The Albanese government is one that respects proper process. We make decisions in a way that is orderly and appropriate," she wrote .

About as subtle as a sledgehammer.

Where to fly on a budget this summer

Airfare experts share their forecasts for summer vacation destinations that won’t break your budget.

This summer is shaping up to be another scorcher , and the demand for summer travel is piping hot, too. If early 2024 trends are any indication of what’s to come, “it’s looking to be busier than 2023,” said Katy Nastro, spokesperson for the flight booking site Going . Recent airport passenger volume numbers have regularly exceeded last year and pre-pandemic levels.

Jeff Klee, CEO of CheapAir.com , says airline capacity has rebounded from pandemic complications, but strong travel demand means summer flight prices can be high, depending on when you’re hoping to go. Flying in June, July or early August will be more expensive than later in the season, according to the company’s summer forecast .

“And it’s not just the airfare,” Klee said in an email. “Expensive hotel rates and crowds everywhere make Western Europe tricky for the summer.”

Despite the price tag, “people are going to go,” said Melanie Fish, the head of global public relations for all Expedia Brands, including Vrbo, Expedia and Hotels.com . “When we look at searches for destinations, they are definitely up year over year.”

For popular destinations like Europe , Klee and Fish say to push trips later into August, September or even October. Not only will prices soften, but you’ll alleviate some of the strain of overtourism .

“My number one tip is go ahead and take that summer vacation, but maybe hold on to take that big, big trip in September,” Fish said.

According to Expedia’s summer 2024 travel outlook , we’re currently in the sweet spot for shopping for early summer flights at the best rates, as Fish says lower fares tend to pop up 21 to 60 days out. It doesn’t hurt to start your search even earlier, setting up price alerts to flag when airfare drops. If you can swing it, look to fly on a Monday for international trips or a Tuesday for domestic trips to save up to 15 percent on fares, Fish added.

It’s not impossible to find good deals on airfare, whether you’re looking for a tropical beach trip , a mountain adventure or a vibrant city. Here are places that are trending cheaper — and the destinations you’ll want to avoid.

Go to Mexico

Sun, surf, culture, chilaquiles — Mexico is always a good idea , but particularly so this summer. With the opening of the new airport in Tulum , U.S. airlines have been adding gobs of new flights to Mexico, particularly to beach regions. “We’ve seen a healthy amount of deals down to Mexico resort areas like Cancún,” Nastro said.

Laura Lindsay, global travel trends expert at Skyscanner , says three Mexican cities — Cancún, San José del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta — are among the top 10 destinations offering travelers the best bang for their buck in 2024.

To escape the summer heat, Phyllis Stoller, president of the Women’s Travel Group , recommends high-altitude destinations like Mexico City or Ixtapan de la Sal, a town near Mexico City with thermal springs.

Avoid European port cities

If you’re considering a visit to a popular European city that’s also a cruise hub, beware. Not only will you be battling the usual summer crowds, you’ll be joined by thousands of day-trippers flooding into the ports — meaning Barcelona, Venice , Athens and Santorini.

Sandra Weinacht, who co-owns the tour company Inside Europe Travel Experiences , says you can avoid some of the madness in these hot spots by staying in neighborhoods away from the typical tourist zones. You can also visit top sites in the late afternoon or evening, after cruise travelers have returned to their ships.

Better yet, wait to visit until the shoulder season

Go to Colorado

Epic hiking, breathtaking nature and more craft beer than you could ever try in a lifetime: The Centennial State is a domestic gem. Ashlee Collins of Inspirato , a luxury travel and lifestyle subscription service, says Vail is popular among members this summer. Not only is the ski resort beautiful sans snow, it’s drivable for many, cutting a significant cost for travelers.

Airfare to Colorado is looking more reasonable than other domestic vacation hubs. Nastro recently spotted a Miami-to-Denver, round-trip fare over the July Fourth holiday for just $199. She says an average round trip from major U.S. cities is running between $173 and $250, but those prices are expected to climb upward of $350 the closer we get to summer.

Avoid places at risk for wildfires

Wildfires have become an unfortunate fixture of summers in the Northern Hemisphere. Last year’s fires in Europe — including those in Cyprus and Greece — were among the worst so far this century, the European Commission reported .

Stoller says fire risk has been a factor in her summer travel planning; she nixed a New England cruise after remembering how bad smoke was last year because of the fires in Canada . “None of us can predict everything, but that would be something I would be aware of,” she said.

Extreme heat is also an issue. Last July, Southern Europe experienced excessively high temperatures from a “heat dome.”

“There’s a concern about heat,” Stoller said. “Last summer was really painful.”

Go to the Caribbean

The Caribbean has its peak tourist season during the winter, when Americans flock to warmer waters. That means summer trips to the region tend to be quieter and cheaper.

“You can go under $300 to pretty much all of the islands: Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Aruba, Dominican Republic,” said Lindsay Schwimer, a consumer travel expert at Hopper . She’s seen similar price point flights to Colombia.

Lindsay of Skyscanner also said Puerto Rico and the Bahamas offer some of the most affordable flights from the United States this summer.

Avoid Paris

Unless you’re going for the Olympics , skip the French capital this summer.

“Paris is always a top destination in the summer, but this summer … it’s going to be on another level,” said Madison Pietrowski, head of U.S. brand at GetYourGuide .

Not only are hotel prices high, “we’re seeing that some of the top attractions like the Louvre have raised their ticket prices,” Pietrowski said.

Nastro says the crowds are going to be “bananas” during the Games, and not just in Paris. Olympic travelers are likely to add on other French destinations to their trip, like Nice — which will host soccer games — or the Côte d’Azur, which already gets popular in the summertime.

Even if you try to get ahead of the rush by visiting before the July 26 start date, you may still have some Olympics-related headaches in the French capital. As the city races to finish prep, “you might find that there’s going to be eyesores and scaffolding and loud noises early in the morning,” Nastro said.

Go to rural Europe

Interest in Western Europe has not slowed down, and Americans are expected to surge back en masse this summer. If you’d like to avoid them, put rural European destinations on your radar.

Weinacht is bullish on Spain’s Rioja region , the Basque countryside and the central Italian region of Umbria, which borders Tuscany but does not see the same levels of tourism. She’s also a fan of Carinthia, the least-populated state of Austria. “It is castle- and lake-dotted, doesn’t get too hot, and oh, the food and stories the cities and villages can tell,” Weinacht said in an email.

Weinacht says she’s been getting more requests from Americans for trips to her homeland, Germany. The country is easy to navigate with its high-speed trains, and offers a mix of small and big cities spread across powerhouse wine regions, UNESCO World Heritage sites and many food festivals . According to Skyscanner, airlines in the United States have been increasing their flights to Germany — namely, Frankfurt, an international business hub — meaning you may be able to find more deals.

Avoid Sicily and Amalfi

If your dream Italian destination has been featured on TV lately, that’s a red flag. The last season of “The White Lotus” spurred an interest in already popular Sicily ; the same is happening to the Amalfi Coast thanks to the new Netflix miniseries “Ripley.”

“They’re really going to be the most expensive and they’re going to be pretty crowded for the summer,” Schwimer said.
