  1. Day 1: Rajendra Giri
    5 minutes (1.2 miles) from Pachmarhi Bus Stand

    In the morning, visit Rajendra Giri, which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valleys. The view is particularly beautiful during the monsoon season when the hills are covered in a lush green carpet. Afternoon is the perfect time to visit Bee Falls, which is a 2.5 km trek from Rajendra Giri. Bee Falls is a scenic waterfall where you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool. In the evening, visit the Catholic Church, a beautiful colonial-era church built in the 19th century.

  2. Day 2: Jata Shankar Caves
    12 minutes (2.5 miles) from Catholic Church

    Start the day by exploring Jata Shankar Caves, a series of natural caves that are considered sacred by Hindus. The caves are said to be the site where Lord Shiva hid from the demon Bhasmasur. Afternoon is the perfect time to visit Pandava Caves, a group of five ancient rock-cut caves that are said to have been built by the Pandavas during their exile. In the evening, visit Dhoopgarh, the highest point in the Satpura Range, to watch the beautiful sunset.

  3. Day 3: Handi Kho
    9 minutes (1.8 miles) from Dhoopgarh

    Spend the morning at Handi Kho, a beautiful gorge that is surrounded by lush green forests. The gorge is a popular spot for rock climbing and rappelling. In the afternoon, visit Reechgarh, a natural cave named after a local legend of a bear (Reech) who used to live in the cave. End the day with a visit to Rajat Prapat, a stunning waterfall that cascades down the rocks and is surrounded by dense forests.

  4. Day 4: Satpura National Park
    20 minutes (4.2 miles) from Rajat Prapat

    Spend the day exploring Satpura National Park, which offers a diverse range of flora and fauna. Take a jeep safari to spot tigers, leopards, and other wildlife. You can also go on a boat ride on the Denwa River and take in the scenic beauty of the park. In the evening, visit the Handicraft Emporium to buy souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones.

Recommendations

If you have extra time, consider visiting the Bison Lodge Museum, which showcases the history of Pachmarhi and the Satpura Range. For a side trip, you can visit the nearby town of Pipariya, which is famous for its beautiful temples and the Chauragarh Peak. To maximize your fun, try some of the local delicacies such as Bhutte ki Kees, Sabudana Khichadi, and Poha. Don't forget to carry a good pair of walking shoes, a light raincoat, and a water bottle.
