Best place for who loves nature,

Garden is there, kids love lots

This hilltop named as Panorama GIri in honour of the visit of Dr. Rajendra Prasad our first president of india Asapling planted is now a full-grown tree.a small park to see sunset Clearly visible from here are the hills of saputara rang in their inviting gesture.garden is very neat &clean.

It is is a very pleasing place from where one can see the setting sun . The park is named after the First President Dr. Rajendra Prasad whose statue is there .He also planted a banyan tree here and the park is built surrounding that spot .One can also view the Satpura Range from here. Benches are placed at vantage points where one can relax and admire the setting sun. Outside the park gate is lined with snack joints.

One of the many small small site seeings around Pachmarhi, this place is a must visit while in this serene city. An amphitheater seating is organized that gives the visitors a relaxed atmosphere to see the sky change colors as the sun recedes down. Ensure that the day is clear/ less hazy to enjoy the views.

This is much lower in height and much smaller but the sunset is as good as Dhoopgarh. Again, this view point also is too crowded during sunset.

Rajendragiri is a gud spot for evening excursion. A lot of people finish their day trip by visiting this site for a sunset. Sunset view is awesome...
