Pachmarhi Day 2 — Bee Fall, Pandav Caves & Reech Garh
Watch on YouTube Pachmarhi Road Trip · Part 3

Day 2 was the active day — waterfalls, caves and a lot of walking. We woke to Navratri songs and troops of monkeys around Hotel Highland, then hired our guide again from the Bison Museum.

What we covered

  • Bison Lodge — the old museum and the pick-up point for guides
  • Reech Garh — a natural cave and rock formation reached on a short trek
  • Echo Point — where your voice carries clear across the valley
  • Bee Fall — the climb down to the waterfall and its bathing pools
  • Pandav Caves — five ancient rock-cut caves on a garden hillock

This was a physically tiring day — Reech Garh, Bee Fall and the Pandav Caves all involve treks down and back up, so it’s the day to save your energy for.

Planning tip

Carry water and wear grippy shoes. Bee Fall in particular is a proper descent and climb. If you’re travelling with elders or small children, the Pandav Caves and Echo Point are the easiest of the group.

Frequently asked questions

What is Bee Fall in Pachmarhi?
Bee Fall (Jamuna Prapat) is one of Pachmarhi's most popular waterfalls — a stepped cascade you reach on foot down a rocky path, where you can also bathe in the pools.
What are the Pandav Caves in Pachmarhi?
The Pandav Caves are a group of five rock-cut caves on a low hillock, popularly linked to the Pandavas of the Mahabharata and among Pachmarhi's oldest heritage spots.
Is Pachmarhi good for trekking?
Yes — Pachmarhi is Madhya Pradesh's best hill-station for short treks. Day 2 of our trip was almost all walking: down to Bee Fall, out to Reech Garh, and up around the Pandav Caves.
