Pools & Waterfalls

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:00:03

Just south of town, past Christchurch, the trailhead for Bee Falls is easily accessed by bike. There are chai and snack stalls along the way to the bottom of the trail.

Further along the main road, past the trailhead, you’ll find the access roads for Duchess Falls , the two beauty points known as Reechgarh and Astachal , and a small, crystal-clear pool called Ramykund .

On the other side of Jaistambha, about 1km past Pandav Caves, is the trailhead for Apsara Vihar , a pool underneath a small waterfall, which is the best of Pachmarhi’s natural pools for swimming. Upstream from here is Panchuli Kund , five descending rock pools that are great for a paddle. Steps up from the snack stall by Apsara Vihar lead to a point with magnificent views of the gorge and of Rajat Prapat (Big Fall), the tallest of Pachmarhi’s waterfalls, which tumbles down a gully in a sheer cliff.
