Adventure activities in hill town of Pachmarhi (MP)

Pachmarhi is a wonderful place in the central India, which have enough potential to attract various type of visitors. Though, it is not so popular as it should be. In our country we usually go to those places which are mostly explored by foreign travelers. During my trip I did not saw any foreign tourists which may be one reason behind its less popularity. But, from my experience I can say it is the best location to plan a 4-7 day trip. This small tourist town has many things to offer. Your trip may be for experiencing the wild life of Satpura forest, or want to enjoy waterfalls on a family holiday or just as a pilgrim. You can also experience many adventure activities in Pachmarhi; like Parasailing, Quad bike, Bungee ejection.
