Nimar Mountains

The Nimar hills belong to the long Satpura system, which separates the valley of the Narmada from that of the Tapti farther south. In the western part of the range, the uplands narrow into parallel ridges cut by streams. Toward the east they rise into the Mahadeo hills and the Pachmarhi plateau, where Dhupgarh is the highest summit. Forested slopes and steep valleys give this part of central India its broken character.
