One of my most pampered and the greenest of all other destinations
is Pachmarhi, a place |
where nature has found exquisite expression
in myriad enchanting ways. Green shades embrace the mountains, and everywhere is heard the
gentle murmur of flowing water.
Bridle paths lead into tranquil forest glades; groves of the wild bamboo and jamun, dense
sal forests and delicate bamboo thickets.
The valley, ravines and maze of gorges, sculpted in red sandstone by the wind and weather,
add their own colouring to this palette of shades, and cascading waterfalls flash silver
in the sunshine. Deep azure pools are hidden delights and everywhere, wildlife watchers
will be rewarded by fascinating glimpse of the animal and bird kingdoms.

Pachmarhi-the Honeymooner's delight (03 Nights/04 Days) |
Much more awesome is the Duchess fall (Jalavatran) which furiously hurtles
down over hundred meters creating a deafening roar. There are a number of limpid pools
near all these falls where swimming is safe and enjoyable. |

Handi Khoh,
is the most impressive precipice, which dramatically cuts down over 100 meters deep into
the bowels of earth. One can, by making a slight effort, hear the gentle murmur of flowing
water and can spot huge undisturbed beehives clinging to the sheer rock face. |

|
| On can climb up the clouds
dramatically in hues of gold and scarlet. Overhanging monsoon clouds bring about a total
transformation of the landscape-shades of gray merging into the blue green of the
mountains- all covered by a thin haze of drizzle. Standing alone at Dhupgarh
at a time like this is a moving experience. The valleys and ravines exude a spine tingling
charm of their own. |

The rock-cut Pandav
caves are associated with the Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata.
Pandavas had a halt here in their wanderings across India.
Jatashankar an important rock formation is -a place
sanctified by the Shaivite lore. The stones are indeed shaped like the mater hair of the
great Hindu god Shiva, and inside a natural Cavern there is a stone formation like the
hundred-headed divine snake Seshnag. |
| From the Priyadarshini point one can take a glimpse of the
extraordinary beauty of this saucer shaped Panchmarhi and it was at this point this queen
of Satpura was discovered in 1857 A.D by Captain Forsyth. On the eastern side of the
Mahadev temple is a cave
shelter with beautiful cave paintings. Although the majority of paintings are placed
between 6th and 9th centuries AD, some get back to 10000 years. |

Complementing the magnificence of nature
are the works of man; Pachmarhi is also an archeological treasure-house. In cave shelters
in the Mahadeo hills is an astonishing richness in rock paintings. Most of these have been
placed in the period 500-800 AD, but the earliest paintings are an estimated 10,000 years
old. Most of the paintings are in white, some times outlining in red and depicts scenes
from every day life or hunting and warfare. |
| It is a pity
that this place is not better known to the lovers of mountain sports. It offers wonderful
opportunity for golf, angling and rock climbing. |
