A bit of a backstory
Well I never planned to pen down this, but Akash Sah (junior) pinged me with a plan for a BitByte trip around Jabalpur, which is kinda a humongous task to plan and manager a trip for 20+ people. Curated a maps-list for him right away, but it sucks away the pleasure of documenting everything.
So here’s a small (and incomplete) guide to Pachmarhi, based on what I could cover with Priyansh after our 3rd semester.
GMaps list of all I could remember
Honestly this trip doesn’t require a lot of planning, just need to lookup the places once, and decide on how would you traverse the hill.
Excerpts from chat, in hinglish
wow clubtrip we went in a grp of 11, per head cost was 2k (frugal) Tripathi log gaye the in 2.5-3k, bit more lavish
3-4hrs journey better to book sleeper tickets
station se travera miljayegi, around 1100-1200 me panchmarhi tak lejayega, beech ke dhaabe me bekar + expensive khaana milta, better to have food in panchmarhi
stay ka to ghoom ghoom ke dekha tha, dont remember much, mehta - jp ko yaad hoga pura khaane ke liye ‘radha ki rasoi’ is amazing, raat me bus stand ke pass doodh milta, try that as well
for local travel, make grps of 2, tripling pe pakad leti police, have license + helmet as well almost saari tourist spots doable in 2days 1night
