Handi Khoh is a remarkable tourist attraction nestled in the heart of Pachmarhi, an enchanting hill station in Madhya Pradesh, admired for its lush surroundings and serene ambiance. The place is renowned for its magnificent canyon which plunges 300 feet into the ground, encased by a dense forest of greens and the rugged cliffs that personify the majesty of nature. The locale often reverberates with myths and is steeped in fables hailing its creation to be the doing of a divine serpent, leading to its initial moniker 'Andhi Kho' before linguistic distortions turned it into its current name. The imposing cliffs that flank the narrow ravine are resplendent with vegetation and provide a habitat for various flora and fauna. Originating from the ancient Sanskrit word 'Panchmarhi' meaning 'Five Caves', Pachmarhi is also known as Satpura ki Rani or the 'Queen of Satpura', alluding to its bejeweled setting in the Satpura Range. Handi Khoh, with its breathtaking view, remains a testimony to the tapestry of natural wonders that the reserve of Pachmarhi offers, with each aspect reflecting a unique perspective of the splendid canvas that is central India's topography.
