Dhuandhar Falls

Reviewed By prashant2702

If you tell any one that "i will be visiting Jabalpur" he will immediately respond " You must visit Dhuandhar" this place is associated with the identity of Jabalpur. at "Dhuandhar you can witness the roaring water fall, with great velocity & magnitude , from a decent height in a valley of beautiful white marble rocks . witnessing this fall brings a mix emotions of thrill, adventure, admire for the beauty of nature. the rope way tour above the fall (across the river) gives an another opportunity to have a panoramic view of the water fall. if you are traveling with young kids and elderly people than be careful for the safety, and it requires a little walking . public amenities like washrooms etc. still need to be developed and maintained.

Sas-Bahu Temple

Reviewed By NomadicWanderr - Ghaziabad, India

Ok, so if you are in city and have gone to Fort, you would get tickets to visit this place. The actual name of this is Sahastrabahu temple. Made by king to please both his wife and mother. Apart of the building there is nothing left there. All the idols have been destroyed and even the face of God on the wall have been broken, The only left what you see if the remainings. How beautiful this place would have been, can only be imagined. Remember there are no idols and hence this is no more a temple. No prayers or offerings are done here.

Sarafa Bazaar

Reviewed By prabhakarrahul - Gurugram (Gurgaon), India

To explore Indore's signature cuisine in its entirety, Sarafa Bazaar is perhaps an excellent place to start. A quaint jewelry marketplace at daytime which converts into a bustling street food court every night. Sarafa is the kind of place you'd love to go with friends or family to cherish veggie delights indigenous to Indore. There are plenty of delicious street food options on display. Still, noticeably the ones to explore are the bhutte ka kees, sabudana khichdi, khopra patties, ratalu, garadu, poha jalebi, dal bafla, egg benjo, hapus ice cream with shrikhand, malpua, rabri, jaleba, and kulfi. And while you're at it, make sure to stop by the most famous street food vendors in Indore like the Joshi Dahi Bada House, Vijay Chaat House, Nagori ki Shikanji, Rajhans ka Daal Bafla, and Kamal Coconut Crush. The late-night street food market is open daily until the wee hours of the morning and is considered entirely safe for visitors. It attracts nearly 3000 visitors every day, comprising both locals and tourists. You're more likely to eat to your heart's content here. Forget calories or diet and simply have the time of your life at this celebrated foodie landmark of the city of Indore. It's undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime gastronomical experience!

Bee Falls

Reviewed By IndusExcursion - Jabalpur, India

During Pachmarhi sightseeing, we recommend to visit Bee fall. In order to visit Bee fall, you need to use gypsy as here you need to first buy visitor ticket and private cars are allowed to certain limit only, due to challenging geographical condition. Further journey is possible either by gypsy or by walking. This site also demands good physical fitness as it involves trekking. Carrying own water bottle is recommended. For senior citizens, our suggestion is to first check then proceed. Here bathing is allowed but it is better to enjoy the nature from distance and do not spoil the place by littering, shouting, disturbing other visitors.

Dhoopgarh

Reviewed By LetsGoSightseeing - Noida, India

Pachmarhi forests are of thick oak & blue pine. Bison, Nilgai, Indian Wolf, Indian Giant Squirrel etc. are endemic to the Satpura region. We'd not planned a wildlife safari or anything of that sort for this trip but got immensely lucky when we spotted a few Indian Bisons or Gaurs crossing the road on the way to Dhoopgarh. Our hearts were full! Dhoopgarh is the highest point of Central India. We saw mountains enveloped by thin clouds. Compared to the Himalayan peaks, Dhupgarh has a modest height - ~4430 ft. Sunrises & sunsets give the peak its name. Even in the mist, we could imagine how pretty those vistas would be. We walked to the other side of the hilltop under a canopy of trees. Adventure lovers trek to Dhoopgarh too.
