Best time to visit Pachmarhi ?

-



Pachmarhi which can be visited throughout the year, but the best time to visit Pachmarhi is October to June. The summers are very pleasant followed by moderate showers. During the monsoon, the weather is very attractive and enjoyable.

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.


Pachmarhi is a beautiful hill station of the Madhya Pradesh state, which is known for its abundant lush ambiance and peaceful surroundings. The hill town is immensely popular amid honeymooning couple who visit the place all year round.

This journey promises you a beautiful experience with your partner, taking you through some really amazing places where you feel close to nature.

It is widely known as "Satpura ki Rani" (Queen of Satpura), situated at a height of 1000 m in a valley of the Satpura Range in Hoshangabad district. The highest point in the central India region and the Vindhya and Satpura range; Dhupgarh at 1130 m is located here.


This place was introduced to western world by Captain James Forsyth of the British Army in 1857. Pachmarhi became a hill station and sanatorium for British troops in the Central Provinces of India. The population in 1901 was 3020, rising to double that number in the hot summer months. Pachmarhi also served as the summer capital for the Central Provinces. The forest around the town is home to many rare varieties of plants. UNESCO added Pachmarhi park to its list of Biosphere Reserves in May 2009.

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.


The town has many tourist hotels including the hotel run by Department of Tourism (Govt. of Madhya Pradesh). Private resorts and cottage/hotel facilities are also available.

There is also a Bharath Scouts and Guides camping site about 4 km from the main town.
