Pachmarhi |
Pachmarhi is Madhya Pradesh's most verdant jewel, a place where nature
has found exquisite expression in myriad enchanting ways. Green shades
embrace the mountains, and everywhere is heard the gentle murmur of
flowing water. Bridle paths lead into tranquil forest glades, groves
of wild bamboo and jamun, dense sal forests and delicate bamboo thickets. |
|
Complementing the magnificence of nature are the works of man; Pachmarhi
is also an archaeological treasure-house. In cave shelters in the
Mahadeo Hills is an astonishing richness in rock paintings. Most
of these have been placed in the period 500-800 AD, but the earliest
paintings are an estimated 10,000 years old.
