Patalkot - the bottom of the Earth
We
were traveling in a hired vehicle from Raipur to Pachhmarhi via
Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh (India). After a drive of about 62 km's. on
a plateu like terrain, we came across a sign board on the right side of
the road reading "Patalkot".
We were reminded of the people living in the bottom of the earth and indeed it was!. We alighted from the van and saw an extremely deep gorge surrounded by high mountain ranges. The place looked heavenly beautiful and scenic. In a way the formation resembled the great canyons of the Americas. But it was not barren. There was plenty of greenery. All of us climbed down carefully using the stairs provided but when we reached the bottom of the 3000 feet cliff, we were told that we need to walk for about 3 km's to reach the nearest human habitat. Since we were required to reach Pachhmarhi the same evening, we found our way up with a heavy heart.
