Pachmarhi Trek — Nagdwar Yatra

This isn’t just a trek, it’s a pilgrimage.

Nagdwar is the annual yatra in Pachmarhi, dedicated to Nagdevta — the “Amarnath of Madhya Pradesh”. Fifteen to eighteen kilometres of walking, seven steep hills, dense forest and deep ravines through the Mahadeo range, alongside thousands of barefoot pilgrims. It is the hardest thing on our calendar and we do not pretend otherwise.
