    Handi Khoh.
    Handi Khoh and Bada Mahadev Caves were pre-planned to be visited on the very first day.
    After lunch and some rest left for Handi Khoh.
    Handi Khoh is a narrow deep gorge with a sheer drop of almost 300 feet. The sides and bottom of the Handi Khoh ravine are thickly forested. Due to the forest and the sheer drop one can not see the bottom of the ravine.
    The drop of the gorge and the sheer depth is so sudden and sharp that the safety railing is the only thing saving one from an accidental fall.
    Handi Khoh gorge presents a silent as well as fascinating vista.
    As to the origin of Handi Khoh, one hears two stories depending on the Guide one has employed. Our guide told us one Britisher committed suicide by jumping off the precipice. The name of the Britisher Was Mr Handi. In another version, the same Mr Handi had a terrible accident as the car in which he was travelling fell in the gorge and he was killed. As Me Handi was killed in this place it came to be known as Handi Khoh.
    Another story has a mythological twist to it. As per the mythological legend, there was a huge deep lake at this location. A demon snake resided in the lake. This devilish snake was killed by Lord Mahadev. It is said that the battle was so fierce and violent that by the time the snake was killed all the water of the lake had evaporated and the shape of the gorge looked like a “handi” (a pot with a narrow opening and wide body).
    However, it came about its name, today Handi Khoh is a tourist attraction and a source of livelihood for the people hiring out binoculars and telescopes to view distant objects and for those offering horse rides for ₹100/- per ride.

    Great place , needs 5-6 hours . Extremely exhausting & equally rewarding. The scenic beauty from the top is awesome . The temple is very divine .

    Mahadeo hills is serene nature. It is very peaceful and greeen. First, we reached Gupt Mahadev caves. 200m from the parking area the reach into the cave is very narrow and if someone is little fat, they would not be able to make it.

    We then reached Mahadeo main cave. This is 300 m walk from parking area on well laid walkway and this is a bigger cave and comfortable for everyone to get inside and have dharshan of Linga.
