Brief Overview

Situated at a mounting height, Pachmarhi, popularly known as 'Satpura ki Rani' (Queen of Satpura) sits beautifully amidst the Satpura range. This attractive town was snuggled in the hills and forests until it was discovered by Captain James Forsyth in 1857. It is one of the most popular destinations in Madhya Pradesh and is a treasure trove of rich history and nature's bounty. The 'Pandavas Caves' in the town is a popular attraction which has a fascinating tale. The legend has it that these caves were built by the Pandavas who lived here along with their wife Draupadi during their exile.

Another point of interest is the stone formed JataShankar cave that resembles the hundred-headed divine snake Seshnag. As per folklore, it is where Lord Shiva had supposed to have hidden from the Demon Bhasmasur. The rocks of this sacred cave looks like the tangled hair of Lord Shiva, hence it is named Jata Shankar.

From spiritual sites, gushing waterfalls to panoramic vantage points, Pachmarhi has something for everyone. Besides scenic beauty, you can enjoy adventure activities like jeep safari in Satpura tiger reserve and para-motoring in the heart of Pachmarhi to add more thrill to your trip. If old architectures interests you then Christ Church, a true blue building from the colonial era cannot be missed upon! The best time to travel to Pachmarhi and see around beautiful places is during monsoon and winter as the beauty of the hill station multiplies a thousand folds.

 How to get fit for the trek

In case you’re just starting with a regular fitness routine, phase out your distance targets in the following manner –
  • Target completing 5 km in 40 minutes when you begin.
  • Gradually increase your pace by running 4 times a week and bring it down to 5 km in less than 35 mins.
  • If you are above 45 years and is comfortable with brisk walking, then target covering 10km in 90 minutes.
  • If you are somebody you prefers cycling over running, then try to cover 25 km in 60 minutes.

Strength – Target 4 sets of squats with 20 in each
  • This is another area you should work on.
  • There is a lot of trekking distance that you will cover in high altitude carrying your backpacks.
  • You have to walk on uneven terrain during the trek. It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
  • It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
  • You can do some squats to strengthen them. Start with 3 sets of squats, with 8 squats in each set and work towards reaching your target in 3 weeks.

Flexibility
  • Another aspect that will help you trek comfortably is flexibility.
  • For this, you can do some stretching exercises – stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back muscles and shoulders regularly.
  • On your trek, it is important that you arrive on the slopes with your muscles relaxed. Carrying a backpack, however light, can become a strain after a while.
  • These exercises will help you to be in good shape before the trek.

We in Barefoot Trekians believe that if you are fit nothing will be difficult for you.
