Pachmarhi, often called the “Queen of Satpura,” is known for its lush greenery, serene waterfalls, and breathtaking viewpoints. While popular attractions like Bee Falls, Dhoopgarh, and Pandav Caves are must-visits, there are several hidden gems waiting to be discovered by travelers who love offbeat experiences.
If you’re someone who enjoys escaping the crowds and exploring nature’s untouched beauty, here are some of Pachmarhi’s best-kept secrets you shouldn’t miss.
1. Rajat Prapat (Silver Falls) – The Tallest Waterfall of Pachmarhi
Why visit? A spectacular 350-feet high waterfall, Rajat Prapat is also known as Silver Falls because of the way the sunlight reflects off the cascading water, making it shine like silver.
How to reach? A short but adventurous trek from Apsara Vihar takes you to this stunning hidden wonder.
✨ Best time to visit: Monsoon and post-monsoon (July – December) for the best water flow.
2. Handi Khoh – The Hidden Gorge with a Mysterious Story
Why visit? Handi Khoh is a 300-ft deep gorge surrounded by dense forest and mystical silence. It is said to have a mythological connection to Lord Shiva and is believed to be a dried-up lake once guarded by a serpent.
Best for: Adventure seekers, trekkers, and photographers looking for raw, natural beauty.
3. Reechhgarh – The Natural Amphitheater
Why visit? This giant cave formation looks like a natural amphitheater, surrounded by high rock walls. It’s believed to be a place where bears (reechh in Hindi) once took shelter.
Inside tip: Walk inside the cave to witness natural air-conditioning—even on the hottest days, the cave remains cool!
4. Duchess Falls – The Most Secluded Waterfall
Why visit? If you’re looking for a completely offbeat waterfall experience, Duchess Falls is your spot. Unlike Bee Falls, which gets crowded, Duchess Falls remains untouched and requires a steep but rewarding trek through the forest.
How to reach? The trek to Duchess Falls starts from Padmini Lake area and takes around 1.5 hours.
