Mount Dhupgarh or Dhoopgarh nestled in the Mahadeo Hills, at a height of 1,352 metres. Madhya Pradesh, India. It is also the highest peak of the Satpura hill range and the view from the top can leave you awestruck especially if you visit in the evening or early in the morning.

We had our guide with us, who guided us throughout the journey. We have clicked a lot of pictures, sat peacefully in the open auditorium and admired the perfect vistas and captured some of the best moments of our lives. So calming !!!

Other Essentials

You can visit the old colonial bungalow which was later converted into a museum that carries some artefacts and history related stuff, we were getting late so skipped that one.

For refreshment, you can buy eatery items from the shop located near the bungalow. A small garden with many mango trees arrangement is also done for visitors to relax in the chilling summer.

Best Time To Visit

It is an amazing experience to see the sunset at Pachmarhi. Moreover, this place is a popular picnic spot too. The best season to visit Dhupgarh is during the monsoon season when the place is enveloped by thin monsoon clouds. Dhupgarh is one of the attractions that promote tourism in Pachmarhi.

As a travel freak, I enjoyed the location very much, if you left with some time during your Pachmarhi Trip, then you must visit Dhoopgarh for experiencing some realistic moments.
