Priyadarshini Point :- |
 This Vantage viewing point marks the place from where
Pachamrhi was discovered. In1857 Captain Forsyth, a Bengal Lancer, approached
the plateau at the head head of a column of troops. At this point (originally
named after him), his first glimpsed the extraordinary beauty of this saucer
shaped scenic spot. |

Handi Khoh
:- |
 Pachamrhi's most impressive ravine has a 300feet high
precipice and dramatically steep sides. A solitary place, with water flowing far
below with an incessant murmuring sound, Handi Koh's overhanging
crags shelters gigantic, undisturbed, bee hives. |

|
Jalawataran (Duchess Fall):- |
 3km along the path from the milestone for Bhrant Neer, is a
route to the beautiful Duchess Fall. The descent is steep and the trek a
strenuous one for almost all of the 4km walk to the base of the first cascade of
the fall. This waterfall,
that tumbles down in three distinct cascades, is the most picturesque of
all Pachmarhi’s falls. |
| |
|
Irene Pool :- |
 This pretty pool was discovered by
Irene Bose , wife of Justice Vivian Bose and named after her. |
| |
|
Jata Shankar :- |
| A sacred cave under a mass of loose boulders which the
Jambu Dwip stream has its source. |
| |
|
Apsara Vihar :- |
| A lovely little bathing pool, and 'fairy pool' is an ideal
picnic spot for families with small children, since the pool is shallow,
deepening only towards the base of the fall which cascades gently into its
waters. |
| |
|
Rajat Prapat :- |
| Those seeking adventure in Pachamrhi will find it in this
ten minute walk over rocks and boulders from Apsara Vihar to the top of Rajat
Pratap, the' big fall'. |
| |
|
Bharant Neer ( Dorothy
Deep) :- |
| It is accessible via a steppe descent from the footpath around
Astachal hill. It has well executed animal paintings and when excavated
in the 1930s yielded many pottery shards and microliths. On Astachal
hill are four shelters with paintings, comparatively early linear
drawings. Along the northern side of Jambu Dwip valley are some six
shelters with many paintings of animal and human figures, including a
detailed battle scene. |
