A magnificent spectacle of nature

Just a short drive from Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, a hidden gem awaits – the enchanting Pandav Falls. Nestled amid lush greenery in Panna National Park, this cascading waterfall is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Legend has it that the Pandavas of the Indian epic Mahabharata fame found refuge in the ancient caves surrounding the falls, adding a touch of mystique to this already magical place.

Imagine the refreshing mist as you approach the falls and the sound of cascading water, creating a soothing symphony. The pool below is perfect for a refreshing dip, while the surrounding landscape invites you to relax and soak in the natural beauty. Don't forget to explore the ancient caves and shrines dotting the landscape around the pool

As you venture into the heart of the forest, the trail meanders through dense foliage, alive with the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity and anticipation. As you walk between the trees, the breathtaking sight of Pandav Falls unveils before your eyes in all its glory. A pristine cascade of crystal-clear water tumbles down rugged rock formations, creating a mesmerising spectacle that will captivate your senses.

Plunging into a heart-shaped pool

Pandav Falls is a perennial spectacle, fed by a tributary of the majestic Ken River. Cascading down from a height of approximately 30 meters into a beautiful heart-shaped pool, the falls are surrounded by lush green forests, creating a truly mesmerising sight that can be enjoyed even during the peak monsoon season. The place is also ideal for an enjoyable family picnic at the sparkling pool. A steep climb up and down the falls is the prime attraction of the falls, with 166 steps! However, one needs to be aware of the monkeys and bears around the falls, as paw marks of the bears can be seen on the trees surrounding the cascade.

Discover treasures along the way

Beyond its natural beauty, Pandav Falls holds a wealth of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Adventurous souls can go further upstream, following the meandering course of the river as it winds its way through the dense forest. Along the way, you will encounter hidden caves, secret grottos, and secluded alcoves, each offering its own unique charm and allure. Keep your eyes peeled for colourful bird species, playful monkeys, and elusive wildlife that call this pristine wilderness home.

If you’re down to witness another spectacle of nature, you can visit the Raneh Falls within the Ken Gharial Sanctuary and marvel at its beautiful cascade. Or, for a touch of spirituality, drive about 31 km from Pandav Falls to reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Khajuraho Group of Monuments, where a number of majestic and ancient temples await your exploration.
