The nearest sight to Pachmarhi village is Jata Shankar , a cave temple in a beautiful gorge about 2.5km along a good track that’s signed just north of the town limits. The small Shiva shrine is hidden under a huge overhanging rock.
Just southeast of Jaistambha, you’ll find Pandav Caves , which are believed to have been carved by Buddhists as early as the 4th century. The foundations of a brick Buddhist stupa have been excavated on top of them.
