Staying in Pachmarhi

Pachmarhi is the highest hill station in Madhya Pradesh and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Evidence of human settlement here goes back to the Stone Age, and the Bhimbetka rock shelters with their prehistoric paintings are nearby. The town grew during the British colonial period as a sanatorium and hill station, and today it mixes natural attractions with heritage sites. Dhoopgarh and Bee Falls are the best-known viewpoints over the surrounding landscape. Hotel Satpura Inn, Townhouse Oak Pachmarhi Lakeview, Neelam Foresteria Resort and The Summer House Pachmarhi AM Hotel Kollection are all close to the centre, within about 1.6 km of it, in the main town, Jai Stambh Chowk and Civil Lines. Wowstayz Pachmarhi Ecotel, Wow Stayz2 Pachmarhi Ecotel Resort and The Golden Woods Resort lie out along the Matkuli road, and Town Tower is at Pipariya, 33.5 km away. Couples and short-break visitors are best served by the central addresses; families and guests wanting a pool, garden and playground will find more room to breathe outside town.
