Cahuragarh
Dhupgarh- These are two separate hills in Pachmarhi.
From here one can watch the spectacular Sunrise and Sunset.
The ancient Shiva temple of Cahuragarh is also worth seeing.
The Sunrise at Dhupgarh leaves one mesmerised. One can also
spend one night at Dhupgarh.
B-Falls
- About 3 kms from Pachmarhi is a very beautiful waterfall
called the B Falls. Its about half a kilometer below
Pachmarhi. One gets the feeling that molten silver is being
poured from this fall. Falling from a height of 150 feet
these falls provide an ideal refuge to the body and mind.
Jatashankar-
1.5 kilometer from the bus stand are the natural caves of
Jatashankar. These caves display the unique architecture of
nature. At Jatashankar there is pool between two rocks and
another rock is suspended without any support. This natural
spectacle has enthralled the visitor from times immemorable.
This place is also very popular among the director and
producers of films.
Pandav caves-
These caves are considered to be carved out during the
Buddha period. Mythology supports this version of the
historians by saying that during Mahabaharata era the five
Pandav brothers had spend few years in exile here. There are
five temples made in their honour.
Mahadev-
This cave is 30 meter long and water is always seeping
inside the cave. The source of this water has been traced to
a water fall. In the middle of the cave is a small pool of
water. Inside the cave is a Shivaling (Phallus). Here on
every Shivratri a fair is held and about 4-5 lakh devotees
throng this place. During the first war of Independence
Tatiya Tope had reassembled his army here. Near by Mahadev
are the caves of Gupt Mahadev.
Though nature has provided
Pachmarhi with immense beauty and there are many places to
go around. Hadi Koh, Richgarh, Apsara Vihar, Daurithi Deep,
Rajendra giri, Rajat Pratap, roman Catholic Church, Little
Fall are some of the places which one should not miss if he
goes to Pachmarhi.
Tamiya -
Tamiya is more beautiful than Pachmarhi and is totally
unvisited by tourists. The Sunset point at Tamiya is place
where you can sit for hours and enjoy the setting sun. This
experience can not be matched by any other thing. The stay
at almost a century old government rest house and watching
the natural beauty of the Satpura hills gives you a feeling
that there is nothing than the hills in this world. You are
bound to be lost in the scintillating beauty of the Satpura
hills here. Tamiya has a good and low budget hotels. The PWD
rest house and the forest department guest house have good
accommodation facility. To reach Tamiya one can hire Jeeps
from Pachmarhi but there are private and government bus
services for Tamiya.
Though the Pachmarhi is an unexploited tourist destination,
one should always keep an eye for the touts. Though the
weather here is pleasant one should carry warm cloths during
winters and light warm cloths during the summer seasons.
