Pachmarhi Trek - The raw Satpura gives you a complete experience of jungle trekking, riverside camping, campfire and barbeque dinner, and a walk with a naturalist. Panarpani retreat is located in a peaceful isolated area of the Satpura National Park.

Also known as Satpura Tiger Reserve Madhairiversi, it is densely covered with over 1300 species of plants which include trees of teak, tendu, Sal, mahua, and bamboos. The forest is a natural habitat of several untouched and unexplored waterfalls and lakes.

The specialty of our trek is that it offers you a chance to venture out in the wild and discover stunning sites of hidden waterfalls, breathtaking landscapes, and silent lakes.

Imagine getting lost in a forest and ending up finding a hidden lake. Wouldn’t you wish to take a refreshing dip amidst peace and nature? Apart from the trek, another special thing about the tour is the river side camping.

You pitch your camps just beside the river and spend the night under the stars. The night is accompanied by a smoky barbeque dinner (BBQ dinner party) and stargazing experience. The main highlight of the tour is the night full of games, songs, dance, and stories complemented by the river.

The last unique thing about the tour is a short walk with a naturalist. After a beautiful sunset, you walk through the dense forest and get to know various secrets about the forests. The naturalist tells you things about myriad kinds of fruits, trees, plants, and animals. This is the best way to get to know whatever you might have learned in books in actuality.

Wouldn’t it be nice to increase some knowledge along with fun and adventure?
