Day 1

You arrive at Bhopal by the superfast Shatabdi Express and proceed to Pachmarhi arriving there in time for dinner. You stay for four nights at Panchvati Huts (budget) or at Rock-End Manor (luxury).

Day 2 - 4

Pachmarhi is a nature lover's delight and a trekker's paradise. Each dawn at this virgin, saucer-shaped hill resort ushers in a day of tranquil beauty. The valley, ravines and maze of gorges, offer quiet escapes into nature in all its glory, and everywhere cascading waterfalls flash silver in the sunshine. Deep azure pools are hidden delights which beckon swimmers and paddlers alike and wildlife watchers will be rewarded by fascinating glimpses of the animal and bird kingdom.

Complementing the magnificence of nature are the works of Man. In cave shelters in the Mahadeo hills is an astonishing richness in rock paintings. Most of these have been placed in the period 500-800 AD, but the earliest paintings are an estimated 10,000 years old.

You will visit Priyadarshini Point, from where Pachmarhi was discovered by Captain J.Forsyth in 1857; Handi Khoh, Pachmarhi's most impressive ravine; Mahadeo, regarded as holy for countless generations; Jata Shankar, a sacred cave; Dhoopgarh, the highest point in the Satpura ranges; Pandav Caves, which according to the legend provided sanctuary to the five Pandav brothers, and a host of breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls.

Day 5

After breakfast, you leave for Bhopal reaching there in time for a quick lunch at Hotel Palash before you depart for Delhi by the Shatabdi Express with fond memories of the 'Satpura Queen'.
