Patalkot
remains on its high
allure and gorgeousness
during the rains.
Monsoon is a wonderful
time to visit this
place. You will
be sheltered with
clouds all around.
This deep valley
is situated on the
way to Bhopal from
Chhindwara.
Patalkot
is 78 km away from
Chhindwara. Depending
upon your budget,
there are good hotels
in Chhindwara to
accommodate yourself.
You need to hire
a taxi from Chhindwara.
It takes 2 and 1/2
hours to reach Patalkot.
First of all, start
your journey towards
Parasia that is
28 km from Chhindwara;
from Parasia, follow
the road to Tamia.
Tamia is 30 kms
from Parasia. When
you reach Bijouri
(Tamia remains just
6 km away from here),
take right turn
and after a journey
of 16 kms, you will
reach Patalkot.
First
day you can visit
Rathed (a village
that is seen from
the top of the valley).
You won’t
have accommodation
facility in Patalkot
valley. You need
to convince people
(local guys) then
only you can find
a place to spend
night. I think,
it’s a tough
job to reach Patalkot
and get back same
day. Anyways,
if you wish to trek
the valley next
day, you can come
back to the top
of the valley and
go to Tamia for
spending night.
You can have your
stay in Forest or
PWD rest house.
Charges are nominal
and you would be
provided with an
up to mark facilities.
You are welcome
to visit Patalkot
but the feariest
thing for me about
Patalkot is...biotic
pressure and team
of harvesters. I
believe your visit
doesnt bother any
local tribesmen.
Please
accept my sincerest
request: No panic,
No poly bags, No
nuisance and please
don’t harvest
medicinal plants
when you visit the
valley.
