“………By-and-by, through the vistas of the trees great isolated peaks began to appear, glowing red and fiery in the setting sun against the purple background of a cloud bank. The centre one of three, right ahead of us, was the peak of Mahadeo, deep in the bowels of which lies the shrine of god himself; to the left, like the bastion of some giant's hold, rose the square and abrupt form of Chauradeo ; while to the right, and further off than the others, frowned the sheer scarf ofDhoopgarh, the highest point of these Central Indian highlands………..”

Ch lll “The Mahadeo Hills”

Captain J. Forsyth

Capt.Forsyth refering to this view of three peaks,

namely Chauragarh, Mahadeo and Dhoopgarh.

Unfortunately, now this scenic view is blocked by the AEC Buildings and Eucalyptus pl’n .

All three peaks are visible from the nearby hillock, about 150 mt. from the trekking route
