Pandav Caves




Pandav Caves are five 1,000-year-old rock-cut caves overlooking an attractive garden. These are five ancient Buddhist dwellings excavated in the sandstone rock in a low hill. Pachmarhi derives its name from these caves which, as the legend goes, once provided sanctuary to the five Pandav brothers and they lived here during their exile of 12 years. These caves are now protected monuments.
