Patalpani Famous Place to Visit in Indore Unknown03:04 8 comments

Patalpani is a very beautiful waterfall. It is a very famous picnic spot too. The height of waterfalls is approx 300 feet. The depth of water kund (pit) formed at the bottom of the falls remains unknown. According to folklore, the water of this waterfall goes deep as the underground world (patal). This spot is also famous for trekking. The waterfall goes almost dry in the summer season, and the stream is reduced to a trickle! However, the sight is majestic soon after the rainy season (usually after July).

It is situated on Indore Khandwa train route. The nearest train stoppage is Patalpani itself. Even one can walk down from Mhow station also with is 6 kM but the walk is also enjoyable. All goods and passenger trains stops are Tantiya Bhil chattri at patalpani station, which is a technical stoppage before entering ghat section.
