There are more than 30 places to bask in the awesomeness of Pachmarhi. That needs time (at least 4 days). We went like a road trip some years back by hiring an acquaintance’s XUV. Can go through train also to the nearby station Pipariya (50 kms from the hill station, that saves money but the idea of car is cozy and memorable because the road is scenic). We stayed for 1 day only (from dawn to dusk) and with extreme go-pro mode visited the top 10–12 places.

The town is not very large, and most of the area is under Indian Army's control and lies in Pachmarhi Cantonment, overall population of about 10,000 population, with the majority of it being the Army.


The civilian town is small and towards the tip of a lake. It has some hotels and a movie hall. A bazaar runs through the small town. There is a large swathe under the Army control, which includes the area near the club and the golf course.

A rarely used airstrip is towards Dhupgarh. It is overrun with grass and is seldom used. Tigers are known to have been sighted near the airstrip. Panther sightings are common along the edge of the Pachmarhi Cantonment.
