Pachmarhi Gypsy Charges – Complete Guide to Local Sightseeing Rates (2025)
Pachmarhi, the only hill station in Madhya Pradesh, is a treasure trove of natural beauty and ancient cave temples. But to explore most of its tourist spots, especially those inside the Satpura Tiger Reserve, you need a forest-registered gypsy. Here’s a detailed guide to Pachmarhi gypsy charges, routes, and things you should know before booking.
🛻 Why Gypsy is Mandatory in Pachmarhi?
Many of Pachmarhi’s top attractions like Bee Fall, Apsara Vihar, Reechgarh, Dhoopgarh, and Rajat Prapat fall under Satpura Biosphere Forest. Private vehicles aren’t allowed in these zones.
Hence, Gypsies authorized by the forest department are the only legal way to access most of the beautiful places in Pachmarhi.
