I went Pachmari with my class mates in march-2008. Hills and hill stations always attract me so we make plan to visit pachmari We reached Bhopal from pune and stayed there for a day. On that Day we a visited Bhojpur. Bhojpur is famous for remains of its magnificent Shiva Temple and cyclopean dam. The temple is called Bhojeshwar Temple. It has one of the largest Shiv-lingam in India. On the second day, we took a taxi from Bhopal and started our journey towards Pachmarhi.
Pachmarhi is situated in the State of Madhya Pradesh and is in Satpur Range of hills. It is 210 Kilometers from the State Capital Bhopal. It is situated on the south side of Madya Pradesh State. Nearest Rail head is Pipariya, which is on the Mumbai Howrah mainline and just 47 kilometers away. Pachmarhi is also connected by road by regular bus service, originating from Bohal, Hoshangabad, Nagpur and Pipariya. It can be visited through out the season. It is at the altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. Its temperature ranges between 14.9 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius.It is Madhya Pradesh's most fascinating jewel, a place where nature has
found exquisite expression in myriad enchanting ways. Abundant Greenery embrace the hills and the gentle murmur of flowing water and water falls can be heard everywhere.Bhimbetka (A World heritage site for rock paintings) and Madhai. Madhai is located on the foot hills of Satpura and part of the Bori-Satpura National Park. You can do Jungle safari here on elephant back. It's a very interesting place in the Jungle outset and a off the beaten trek. It's a less travelled route and had a place to stay. You got to cross a river on motor boats for Jungle safari and can also visit the tribal village around.
This is just my opinion, 3-4 days in Pachmarhi are sufficient. If you are planning a vacation for 5-6 days you can really do a lot in Satpura range. Some of the places of tourist interest here are:-* Satpura National Park
* Rajat Prapat (Silver Fall)
* Bees Fall
* Pandav Caves
* Gupt Mahadev
* Chauragarh (Shiv Devotees come here in huge numbers during Mahashivratri)
* Dhupgarh (The highest peak of the Satpuras and Madhya Pradesh)
* Handi Kho (Deep Valley)
* Priyadarshini
* Apsara Falls
* Jatashanker
* Saunderkund
* Big Fall
* Duchess Fall
