Visited Pandav Caves on the 1st day itself by our private cab. This spot was situated very near to our Resort. It is a place where the Pandav had stayed during their Agyatavas. Nice place to visit..

The Pandav Caves were cut into a low hill. Buddhist monks created the caves anytime from the first century AD to the 10th century AD. The caves were roughly carved, but attractive.

No permit required and you can visit this place by your own car / bike. Its inside main city, so you can reach here very quickly. Lots of parking available here. Small size bike can be hired here. No entry fees. Caves are mostly closed down and you can see it from outside only. MP Tourism has maintained very beautiful garden here. You will get few food options here. **********If you like the review, plz do like it*********…

There are five caves in different levels of a hillock and from this is what Pachmarhi gains its name. The caves had pillared verandahs and cave no.3 had some sculpt work while others were plain. The top of the hillock had some brick structure at the top and most of the the hopeless and senseless tourists were walking on it with no respect to the historical place. More fencing would help. We spent around 30 minutes here. The view from the top was worth it!…
