Geography & terrain

Patalpani Falls lie in the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh, 35 km from Indore and 10 km from Mhow — the rail-gorge falls of the region, its 300-feet drop, the picnic decks and the rail bridge set on the Malwa's green.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the region's picnic life — the waterfall of the Patalkot legend (the underworld of the name) and the rail bridge of the Khandwa line, with the falls' modern role as the weekend stop of the Indore circuit and the home of the viewpoints and the picnic lawns; the falls' history of the monsoon's full flow and the 1997-era treks, gives Patalpani its gorge character.
