This Pachmarhi tour package from Dehradun is a 3 night, 4 day trip with pickup and drop at Pipariya Railway Station, from ₹8,499 per person plus GST. There is no direct train, but one easy change works every day: the 12056 Jan Shatabdi to New Delhi (05:00 → 11:05), then the 12191 from Hazrat Nizamuddin straight to Pipariya (14:05 → 04:58).
You live in the hills, so why Pachmarhi? Because the Satpura range is completely different: sandstone cliffs, rock-cut caves, deep gorges with waterfalls and dense sal forest, all inside the Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve. It makes a good winter trip from Dehradun when Pachmarhi days are bright and mild.

- Pandav Caves: Sandstone caves carved into a hillock, an easy and interesting first stop.
- Reechhgarh: A natural rock amphitheatre with tunnel-like passages, popular with children.
- Apsara Vihar: A shallow pool below a small fall, good for families on the Gypsy route.
- Dhupgarh: The highest point of Madhya Pradesh at 1,352 m, famous for sunset over layered ridges.
- Satpura forest drives: Sal and teak forest inside the Satpura Tiger Reserve buffer, seen from an open Gypsy.
