What we know

Sandstone. No online topo yet. MP Tourism has run the Pachmarhi Rock Climbing Challenge at Jatashankar every January since 2025.

This is a smaller area. It has few climbs or little written down. Do not expect a guide, pad rental or a place to stay for climbers. Go with someone who knows the place, and check access before you travel.
