Monsoon Magic in Madhya Pradesh: Explore Pachmarhi, Tamia, and Mandu
BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH , INDIA, May 27, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- As the monsoon clouds roll in, Madhya Pradesh 'The Heart of Incredible India' undergoes a seasonal transformation. While Pachmarhi is known as the state's prominent hill station, the scenic locales of Tamia and Mandu also offer distinct and memorable experiences during this time of year. Together, these three destinations present a well-rounded view of monsoon travel in Central India, where natural beauty and cultural depth come together.
Pachmarhi: The Queen of the Satpuras
Located within the UNESCO-recognised Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve, Pachmarhi stands as Madhya Pradesh's only hill station and a popular monsoon destination. From June to September, the area sees its forests revitalised and waterfalls such as Bee Falls and Silver Falls flowing in full force.
Ancient rock-cut formations like the Pandav Caves reflect local legends and mythological connections. Colonial-era landmarks, including the historic church, add to the area's layered character. A trek to Dhoopgarh, the state's highest peak, rewards visitors with unforgettable sunsets shrouded in monsoon mist.
Tamia: A Hidden Gem in the Satpura Range
A few hours from Pachmarhi, Tamia offers a more secluded hill escape overlooking the dramatic Patalkot Valley. Encircled by dense forests and cliffs, the town draws interest from nature enthusiasts and travellers looking for quieter landscapes.
The horseshoe-shaped Patalkot Valley is known for its tribal heritage and biodiversity, creating opportunities to engage with both ecological and cultural aspects of the region. During the monsoon, Tamia's setting becomes especially tranquil, enhanced by mist and cooler temperatures.
Mandu: The Monsoon's Timeless Romance
Set atop a plateau in the Vindhya range, Mandu features a blend of Afghan-era architecture and seasonal scenery. As rainfall arrives, the historic structures from Roopmati's Pavilion to Baz Bahadur's Palace take on a softened, atmospheric quality.
Seasonal streams and waterfalls like Jharna emerge during this time, contributing to the quiet charm of the location. The setting, rich with architectural detail and historical associations, offers visitors a chance to explore in a slower, reflective manner.
A Season of Discovery and Renewal
Monsoon in Madhya Pradesh provides a setting for meaningful travel, where the environment, history, and everyday life intersect. Whether walking forest trails in Pachmarhi, taking in the or wandering through Mandu's historic ruins, each destination presents a different perspective on the season.
These experiences are further supported by efforts to promote sustainable travel, regional hospitality, and eco-conscious tourism practices.
Madhya Pradesh Tourism welcomes travellers to explore these seasonal destinations and engage with the state's evolving travel landscape.

Mother of Air India crash victim ‘heartbroken' after remains wrongly identified
The mother of a British Air India crash victim has said her family is 'heartbroken' after receiving news the remains of her son were wrongly identified, The Sunday Times reported. The London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport on June 12, killing 241 people on board. Some 169 Indian passengers and 52 British nationals were killed, making it one of the deadliest plane crashes in terms of the number of British fatalities. Among the British victims were Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, 39, and his husband Jamie, 45, who had been returning to Britain after celebrating their wedding anniversary in India. Mr Greenlaw-Meek's mother, Amanda Donaghey, told The Sunday Times she flew to India after the crash in order to find her son's remains, providing a DNA sample at Ahmedabad's Civil Hospital to assist the identification process. Following a match on June 20 last year, she returned to the UK with Mr Greenlaw-Meek's coffin. But on July 5, as Mr Greenlaw-Meek and his husband's families prepared to bury the married couple together, police told Ms Donaghey that DNA tests carried out in the UK showed Mr Greenlaw-Meek's remains were not in the coffin. 'We don't know what poor person is in that casket,' she told The Sunday Times. 'I had my doubts but to be told that was heartbreaking. 'This is an appalling thing to have happened,' she added. 'And we would now like the British Gvernment to do everything in its power to find out, and bring Fiongal home.' It was revealed last week the coffin of another repatriated British victim, 71-year-old Shobhana Patel, contained remains of multiple people, The Sunday Times reported. Mrs Patel was killed alongside her husband Ashok, 74, as they returned to the UK from a Hindu religious trip. Their son Miten Patel told The Sunday Times: 'There may have been a mistake done. 'But for religious reasons we need to make sure my mother is my mother and not somebody else's remains. 'Knowing 100% that it is my mum is very important to us.' Shobhana and Ashok Patel were laid to rest last week, The Sunday Times said. International aviation lawyer James Healey-Pratt, whose firm Keystone Law is representing families of victims of the Air India crash, has told Times Radio the identification issues have raised concerns over the total number of victims whose identities may have been misattributed. 'We know that 12 caskets were repatriated from India to the UK,' he said. 'Of those 12, two had been mishandled, misidentified. 'And so if you extrapolate that sample, you're looking at 40 mishandled remains out of 240. 'So that's a very large number, but we simply don't know. 'And to date, the Indian authorities have not been transparent or helpful about that, which is why there was pressure put on by the families to the FCO and the Prime Minister's office. 'And this was actually mentioned in the meeting at Chequers between Keir Starmer and Prime Minister Modi on Thursday. 'So the families are waiting to hear, first thing next week, about what actions are really being done in India to provide some degree of assurance.' It is understood no blame is being put on any UK agency for the blunders, Mr Healy-Pratt previously told the PA news agency. The only surviving passenger on the plane was Briton Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who previously told The Sun it was a 'miracle' he was alive but felt 'terrible' he could not save his brother Ajay. A preliminary report into the incident from India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau found both of the plane's fuel switches moved to the 'cut-off' position 'immediately' after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engine. It has sparked questions over whether the crash was deliberate.

Crowd surge at Hindu temple in northern India leaves at least 6 dead
LUCKNOW, India — A crowd surge at a popular Hindu temple in northern India left at least six people dead and dozens injured, local authorities said Sunday. The incident in the pilgrimage city of Haridwar occurred after a high-voltage electric wire reportedly fell on a temple path, triggering panic among the large crowd of devotees. Vinay Shankar Pandey, a senior government official in Uttarakhand state where the incident happened, confirmed the deaths and said worshippers scrambled for safety following the incident. Some 29 people were injured, according to Haridwar city's senior police official Pramendra Singh Doval. Thousands of pilgrims had gathered at the Mansa Devi hilltop temple, which is a major site for Hindu devotees, especially on weekends and festival days, local officials said. They were celebrating the holy month of Shravan. Someone in the crowd shouted about an electric current on the pathway around 9 a.m. 'Since the path is narrow and meant only for foot traffic, confusion and panic spread instantly,' said local priest Ujjwal Pandit. 'A wall along the path is also suspected to have worsened the crowd bottleneck,' he added. Police and emergency services rushed to the scene and launched a rescue operation. The injured were transported to a nearby hospital, officials said. 'The situation is now under control,' Pandey told the Associated Press by phone from Haridwar. 'But the panic led to tragic consequences.' Authorities are investigating what caused the overhead wire to collapse, and whether proper crowd management protocols were in place. The town of Haridwar draws millions of visitors each year. The Mansa Devi temple, which is accessible by cable car or foot, is a major pilgrimage site that draws thousands of visitors daily during Shravan. Crowd surges at religious gatherings are not uncommon in India, where massive groups often congregate at temples or pilgrimage sites, sometimes overwhelming local infrastructure and security measures. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences to the victims and their families in a social media post and wished for a fast recovery for those who were injured.

MakeMyTrip Limited (MMYT): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on MakeMyTrip Limited on Stock Analysis Compilation's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on MMYT. MakeMyTrip Limited's share was trading at $101.62 as of July 24th. MMYT's trailing P/E were 118.49 according to Yahoo Finance. MakeMyTrip is India's leading online travel agency (OTA), often seen as the of India, leveraging an asset-light, cash-generative internet platform that connects over 80 million customers with hotels, alternative accommodations, and transport options, including flights, trains, buses, and cars. Operating in a young but rapidly growing market, the company benefits from strong brand equity and entrenched scale advantages, underpinned by its extensive network. India's travel sector is set to expand significantly, driven by rising disposable incomes, a growing middle class, and accelerating smartphone penetration, all of which position MakeMyTrip for sustained top-line growth. The company is targeting approximately 20% annual revenue growth, supported by continuous improvements to its network and technology infrastructure. This growth, combined with operational efficiencies, is expected to drive steady margin expansion and position the company to deliver earnings growth in the range of 25%. MakeMyTrip's model remains highly cash-generative, enabling reinvestment into its platform while maintaining a disciplined capital structure. With its dominant market position, brand strength, and scalable business model, the company stands to consolidate its leadership in India's online travel ecosystem. The structural tailwinds of increasing digital adoption and consumer demand for flexible, convenient travel solutions reinforce the long-term investment case. Given its robust fundamentals, attractive growth trajectory, and margin expansion potential, MakeMyTrip offers investors an opportunity to participate in the sustained digital transformation of India's travel industry, with significant upside supported by both network effects and favorable secular trends. Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Group Limited (TCOM) by Acid Investments in February 2025, which highlighted its reinvestment strategy, strong international growth, and leverage to the global travel rebound. The company's stock price has appreciated by approximately 12.83% since our coverage, as demand remained resilient. Stock Analysis Compilation shares a similar view but emphasizes MakeMyTrip's leadership in India's expanding online travel market supported by network effects. MakeMyTrip Limited is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 26 hedge fund portfolios held MMYT at the end of the first quarter which was 28 in the previous quarter.
