We reach Patalpani where the water reaches the deepest depths of the earth.

0016a

Patalpanti - never was a waterfall so aptly named.

0017

Gangaprasad Yadav wakes up to find himself staring into to camera.

0018

We set off - the guard waves green.

0019

1:41 is the drop - right into Patal !!

0020

Light burns our vision as the Meenakshi scampers out of a cutting.

0021

The sun rises over the misty Choral valley while the Fish-Eyed Goddess lords over the stunning vista

0022

Even the Goddess stops in homage to heaven on earth.

0023

Out of the darkness she comes bursting into the morning light.

0024

The sentinels allow the Goddess to enter the Black Pool - Kala Kund

0025

The Ghat ends at 876ft after a descent from 1284ft above sea level.

0026

At Kala Kund a lone YDM4 waits to bank an uphill train.

0027

This is the sight that awaits the uphill train.

0028

Our crossing train climbs up the grade into Mukhtiara Balwada

0029

Smokin' start from Omkareswhar Road
