Hardly an hour from Indore, Patal-Pani Waterfall is among the most beautiful waterfalls in India. It’s name is derived from the fact that no-one has been able to measure the depth of the lake that forms there and it is believed that the waterfall directly goes to pataal (hell/the underworld). keeping the stories aside, patal-pani is a beautiful place to go to, if you’re looking for adventure or just want to spend some time away from the constant buzz of cities and vehicles.
