An abundance of water spots distinguish Pachmarhi from the hill stations up North and with the monsoons in the air you can be sure that the streams, creeks and waterfalls will be overflowing with water, and fish dancing in the streams and little pools. So head towards the shallow 'Fairy Pool' which is ideal for kids; the Rajat Pratap or Big Fall - a 10 minute walk over rocks and boulders; the Jamuna Prapat or Bee Fall - a spectacular fall in the stream which provides drinking water to Pachmarhi; Tridhara (Piccadilly Circus) - where two streams meet in a junction and Vanshree Vihar (Pansy Pool) - a cool and shady place full of trees, ferns and semi-tropical vegetation. Adventure lovers can trek down 4 km to reach the base of the Duchess Falls (Jalawataran) to watch this cascading beauty in awe  and then can head for a swim at the rocky Saunder's Pool which is 2.5 km from the Duchess Falls.

For some spectacular views of the sunset and surrounding areas head for Dhupgarh, the highest point in the Satpura range and the lingam shaped Chauragarh Peak – 4 km from the Mahadeo Hill. The Forsyth Point (also called Priyadarshni Point) - the vantage point from where Pachmarhi was discovered by Captain Forsyth in 1857 is another interesting place to visit. There is also the Handi Khoh - a deep ravine with a 91 m drop.
If a walk in the rain is what your heart desires, then take the scenic two hour walk along the bridle path to Astachal rejoining the road near the huge natural cave amphitheater of Reechgarh while passing by the Dorothy Deep Rock Shelter with its pre historic cave paintings.

For those interested in colonial art, there is the Catholic Church with its fine blend of French and Irish architecture and Belgian stained-glass windows and the Christ Church with its hemispherical dome and stained glass panes which present a gorgeous view as the sun rays pass through them. And for religiously inclined there are the Mahadeo and Chota Mahadeo shrines of Lord Shiva and Jata Shankar.
