Dhupgarh, Mountain summit in Narmadapuram district, India.
Dhupgarh is the highest point of the Mahadeo Hills in the Satpura Range, rising to 1,352 meters above sea level. The summit offers views across surrounding forests and valleys that stretch across this mountainous region of central India.
The British established a military outpost near this peak during their colonial rule, making it a strategic point in central India. The location served an important role in controlling the mountainous region during that era.
Local people connect this place to Hindu mythology through caves and temples scattered around it, where stories of gods and epic heroes remain alive in the landscape.
Several hiking trails lead from the town of Pachmarhi to the summit, and local guides are available to help navigate forest paths. It is advisable to start early in the day and bring appropriate footwear and plenty of water.
The position at the intersection of three mountain ranges creates special wind patterns that influence local weather and often make the summit cool and windy. This geographic feature makes the location meteorologically interesting for those paying attention.
