It was just end of April Month and Mercury had already hit 48 degree. I had already planned to go nearest Hill Station Pachmari to beat this heat.
After a long time I was going for Vacation. Though this is not the place I was going first time, but feeling was no different. As this was the first time I was going after marriage. Also it was the first long trip for my sweetheart daughter Ishwin. She was just seven and half month old. I and my wife Goldy were more concerned about her rather than places we were about to visit.
We left Nagpur early morning at seven o’clock in my friend's brand new Hundai i10. We were already late by one hour from our scheduled time. Road was good up-till now. We reached Chindwada at 10. We took a halt there for refreshment at Raj Garden. We had Parathas and Chach(Butter Milk) at its lush green lawn. Our children had a great time toddling here and there. We finally left for Pachmari at 11 AM.
After some miles only, my friend realized it was better to come by taxi as most of the road is missing from the place it should be. We saw Work is in progress board every where but really was it? Don’t know.
We covered this half distance nearly in 4 hours and reached Pachmari at 3 PM.
We had advanced booking of two hutments in Hotel Highland & Resort from MP Tourism. Our rooms were not as good as we expected and the service was as pathetic as the Roads of MP. After little rest we went for some sightseeing. Though it was noon but temperature there was not more than 35 degree. Thanks to greenery caused by Mangoes , Sal Trees which covered almost 90 percent of Jungle.

First we hired a guide, took some snacks at a local restaurant and moved ahead to cover some points near by.
We visited Handi Khoh, Bada Mahdev, Priyadarshni, Green Valley and then finally for Sunset at Rajendra Giri.

We all were too tired by then. We had dinner at Hotel Maheshwari located in the city. Food was really really good. Attending staff was good; they provided us food suitable for our children.
So we made up our mind for now onwards taking food from here only.
