You can directly contact M. Aishwiri bus service if Dix.Bus does not work. This service is, I feel, superior in quality and price.

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.
