Pretty Pachmarhi

Panchmarhi

Many tourist destinations boast of a variety of sightseeing spots but of all the places that I have visited, I found Pachmarhi to be most diverse and dazzling. This lovely hill station of Madhya Pradesh gives you a myriad of marvels to explore and engage with. When I took the bus at Habibganj ISBT Bhopal, I did not know I would find so many beautiful places in this small and sleepy town. It took about 5-6 hours to reach Pachmarhi; pretty long time but the breezy weather was enough to wipe off the fatigue. I was welcomed into the lap of greenery with an open heart and the journey ahead proved to be fully adventurous and alluring. It was a complete cocktail of varied destinations, each with a unique flavor of its own. I had chosen a lovely homestay in Pachmarhi to stay.

An elating experince at Dhoopgarh

The highest point of Satpura range leaves you spellbound with its breathtaking view of the valley. The sunset experience is so soulful and uplifting that you will feel awe-struck. I had decided to trek it out instead of taking the easier road route and when the time came to feel the highest point, I was jubilant with joy. It felt as though I was at the top of the world. Dhoopgarh is dazzlingly delectable, providing you ecstasy, adventure and spirituality, at the same spot.

The ethereal engagement at Jata Shankar

Whether you are into religion or not, you will feel the presence of Lord Shiva at Jata Shankar Cave. Carrying a strong sacred aura, the small Shiva shrine is steeped in surrealism and peace. The fresh water dripping from the caves create an intriguing sight that is a fine example of the creative wonders nature is known to weave.

Beautiful bonding at B-Fall

Pachmarhi is blessed with many waterfalls and all are exuberantly calming but the beauty of B-Fall is beyond verbal expression. You can sit on the rocks and listen to the magnetic music for eternity. It is so soothing and fresh. The lush green surrounding enhances the appeal even more and if you love photography, this place is sure to provide you ample delights. I too had my share and it is one of the most cherished albums in my archive.

The party with the natural pools

Abounding in fresh water pools, Pachmarhi puts you in the best place whether you want to swim or enjoy boating. I did both. The crystal clear water of Ramyakund, the conflux of water streams at Sangam, the mesmerizing pool at Apsara Vihar; all were exquisite and entertaining. Nowhere can you find such aqua wonders.

Pachmarhi or “Satpura ki Rani” is a thorough pleasure for anyone looking to make the most of sightseeing at a single place. The rich flora and fauna, wondrous waterfalls, mesmerizing mountains, soulful streams, mystic caves, holy shrines; all are majestic in their own way. Beaming with natural blessings, every soul coming to the hill station leaves with a trail of gratitude and thankfulness. Full marks to Pachmarhi for giving such a delightful experience.

Visit Panchmarhi for your next holiday and choose a homestay to experience the local flavors.
