Panchmari
Some six hours drive from Bhopal, this is a really nice place, especially
in Feb-March. Its a hill station in the Madhya Pradesh and there are plenty
of caves, waterfalls, forests and cave temples.
Places like Chhota Mahadev, Bee fall, Panchvati arevisited by all tourists.
But what I really enjoyed going to were Reech Garh & Dutchess fall.
Reech Garh are the caves where bears live and they are localed in deep jungle
where few drivers go.
Our driver was good and we drove over boulders and through thick forest
on 4x4 Maruti Gypsy to reach the caves.
Pachmari is famous for its water falls and though bee fall is most known,
I personally enjoyed Dutchess fall more because few people go there as it
it is located in thick forest and you have to trek over two kms through
steep descent and climb in rought terrain to reach there. But the fall is
worth it.
There is nothing inside Pachmari but in every direction around the town,
there are plenty of scenic spots. One way of see places is to hire a bicycle
which is cheap and you can work your muscles well in the hilly terrain.
Three days are enough for a relaxed stay in Pachmari and all classes and
sorts of accommodation are available.
