Handi Khoh

  • Destination: Pachmarhi

It is 300 feet deep ravine in V-shape created by two gigantic hills. It is said that the British officer Handi has committed suicide by Jumping into the ravine.

Pachmarhi’s most impressive ravine has a 300 ft high precipice and dramatically steep sides. The popular belief is that Handi Khoh was a lake earlier. An evil snake, which actually was a demon, was guarding the lake. Lord Shiva killed the snake and the fury of the divine battle dried up the water in the lake and the empty space assumed the shape of a handi(pot).
