This Pachmarhi tour package from Odisha is a 3 night, 4 day trip that starts and ends at Pipariya Railway Station. It costs from ₹8,499 per person plus GST and includes the hotel, breakfast and two private Gypsy tours. From Bhubaneswar, travellers usually take a train to Itarsi Junction (about 21 to 23 hours), or travel to Bilaspur or Durg and take the daily Amarkantak Express straight to Pipariya.
Coastal Odisha is warm and humid for most of the year. Pachmarhi, high up in the Satpura hills of Madhya Pradesh, gives you cool mornings, thick forest, waterfalls and caves that are thousands of years old. It is the state's only hill station and part of the Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve.
The trip suits families on summer or Puja holidays, couples and groups of friends from Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Sambalpur, Rourkela and the rest of Odisha. You book the train. From the moment you step out at Pipariya station, we handle the hotel, breakfast, Gypsy sightseeing and all local transfers.

Best Time to Visit Pachmarhi from Odisha
- October to February is the most comfortable time. Days are pleasant and evenings are cool, so carry a light jacket.
- May and June are the Odisha summer holidays. Pachmarhi is warm in the day, but mornings and evenings are much cooler than the coast.
- Durga Puja holidays in October come right after the monsoon. Forests are green and the falls still have water, so it is a good time to go.
Travel Tips for Odisha Travellers
- Most Bhubaneswar–Itarsi trains run on selected days only. Pick your train first, then send us your dates.
- From Sambalpur, Jharsuguda or Rourkela, the route via Bilaspur and the Amarkantak Express is often the quickest.
- Book the connecting train to Pipariya as a separate ticket, and keep at least two hours between trains.
- Wear good walking shoes. Bee Falls, Handi Khoh and the Chauragarh trek all involve steps or uneven paths.
- Keep some cash with you, as mobile network and card payments can be patchy at forest points.
