Nestled in the Satpura ranges, at an altitude of 1,100m, Pachmarhi is one of the most beautiful hill stations in central India. The place is very attractive and relaxing, with peace, seclusion and a quiet unobtrusive beauty as its prime attractions. Nature, here, expresses itself in numerous enchanting ways. Formed of red sandstone, the valley, ravines and the maze of gorges, add colour to this tranquil hill station.
