PANCH MARHI (not Panchmadhi) HILL STATION -
Madhya Pradesh's serene hill station, which happens to be its only one, stands at an altitude of 1067 metres. It is a large plateau, ringed by the lofty hills of the Satpura range. The landscape is characterised by rugged hills, forests and deep ravines. Known as the verdant jewel of the hills, the all - pervading greenery of the region is what strikes the observer. Various hues of green greet the eye - tranquil emerald pools, the green shades that embrace the hills, and the thick, impenetrable forest cover that dominates the region.One of its main attractions, is the splendid view it offers at dusk, when the red sandstone scarp takes on the colour of the sky, in various shades of purple and violet, as the glorious sun sets on Pachmarhi. Among the few exceptional hill resorts in India, is Pachmarhi is Madhya Pradesh. It is not on the usual beat of hill station buffs and therefore, not over-developed. Though considered a hill station, it does not offer the predictable mountain fare of awesome heights and spectacular scenery, for the Satpuras are low lying weathered hills. Pachmarhi' s appeal is low key. Peace, seclusion and a quiet unobtrusive beauty are its prime attractions.

It is in Madhya Pradesh, India
Pachmarhi

Pachmarhi is a peaceful hill station located about 200km southeast of Bhopal at an altitude of 1065m (3514 ft). There is a good view from the hilltop. Priyadarshini Point is the best place from which to see the surrounding countryside.
There is a big festival here at the Mahadeo Siva Temple (10km south) during Siva-ratri (Feb-March), attended by over 100,000 people.
There are also interesting cave paintings in the Mahadeo Hills—in Pachmarhi, Jalia, and Tamia.
This is a good area in which to take a walk. As some of the walks start well outside of town, a bike could be useful to reach the beginning. Rajat Pratap, a 110m waterfalls, is a nice walk from the town. Duchess Falls is one of the nicest falls in the area. It is a hard walk to reach it. Apsara Vihar is a pond, which is a nice place to visit.
