How to reach :

a)(by train) : catch a train (meter gauge) at indore towards Khandwa. On the way you will cross a station called Mhow and after a brief half the train stops at a small station called patalpani. if you want a walk 3-4 km you can get down at Mhow itself. else from patalpani station it is a walkable distance. In addition to waterfalls just adj to station or nearby you will see the river flowing . very beautiful place. but the train services are irregular ( I did not say late). so take a note of train timings and be back at the station by that time.
