Paataal Paani, near MHOW, Indore

Here are views of Paataal Paani, a scenic spot near MHOW, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh (central India).
The waterfall is little more than a trickle off-season, but the whole place turns green and vibrant in the monsoons.
Alongside is a metre-guage railway track, and the spot offers obvious opportunities to turn into a modern picnic spot with cable cars and walkways. But I prefer it 'raw'!

  17. Hobo - pl see the next post. The water falls into a very deep gorge - hence the name, I believe.
    Hope you were able to see the pictures of the place during the rainy season.

  18. Hi Swarna... It is great seeing pictures of Pataal Pani - a place I have been visiting on and off for well nigh thirty years now. I also remember some night treks I have undertaken here on full moon nights. This place is also famous for a memorial to Tantya Bheel - a Robin Hood like figure who has hanged to death by the British at the Khandwa jail. All trains enroute to Khandwa stop at the memorial and pay homage. It is believed that this makes the downhill journey safe.
